Don't be afraid, the rogue will not suffer.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> - Do not drop AoO, because it would require too many changes to the system. Instead, make it a DM call, as someone already suggested above.- Explain clearly all the details of the battle. If required (say, too many creatures fighting at the same time), sketch it on a piece of paper. Just watch out: if you do this every round, you had better use those minis for this fight! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />- When a caster needs measures, I usually let them roll a Spellcraft check. For example, if a player says he wants to fireball some evil guy so that the fighter is just one step out of the fireball area, he rolls Spellcraft. If he succeeds, fine. If he fails, the fighter is roasted.- When anyone else needs measures (as for ranged attacks, or to tell whether that jump can be made), you eyeball it, as they said above, and if you feel that it's needed, you can always let them roll a Spot check.- cover: eyeball it.Ze</blockquote>
