[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 3838138, member: 11"] My groups have been using a form of AoO since 2E days, so it never seemed like a weird new 3E thing to us. So obviously, I like them. I have never found them to "immobilize" combats because I enjoy craft dynamic and dramatic combat scenes that often necessitate movement and the risk of AoOs. As for the counting boxes things that someone brought up, we have a table rule that if you count a character has moved to that box. You can continue counting in any direction you want, but no take-backs.* We also rule that you choose a target for a spell or missile weapon before counting the range. You can choose to not cast or shoot after, but you lose your action. We call it our "fog of war" rules. . . and it makes for a hell of a lot of fun. * The DM is exempt from this rule, and can do the occasional take-back because of the sheer number of combatants he has to run makes it more likely for mistakes to happen. But even then, I usually let even my own "mistakes" stand. [/QUOTE]
