Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashtal" data-source="post: 145702" data-attributes="member: 3">I think 3E is as complicated as you wish to make it.  Our sessions are remarkably free of rules-lawyering, though there is page flipping when we're unsure.  And I think it's important to understand that you don't need to worry about everything at once.  I mostly just skimmed the feats and spells, getting a handle for how it basically worked, and worried about them when I needed to worry about them.  You aren't going to be using all the Feats at once, so you don't have to worry about memorizing them all at once, either. <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=":)" />We certainly don't worry about getting it 100% right all the time.  We want it to work reasonably well and if we did it wrong, next time we'll try to do it right.  I also firmly believe that you learn by doing.  AoO's were a slow-down factor when we first started playing, but now they come naturally.  What I like about them is that they've offered a new realm of tactics to take into consideration on the playing surface, and eliminate mis-imaginings between players."I don't think I'm in the fireball radius.""Yes you are.""But I'm over here!""I want to attack that Goblin Priest in the back.""But you'll have to move through a horde of Goblin Spearmen... they will get some shots at you first...""No way, I should be able to get past them without a hit! Can't I go around them?"That I find can be problematic.  When you've got it all in a map in front of you, there's less chance of mistakes - the kind I find game-busting, leading to arguments, interpretations and much rules lawyering. <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=":)" /></blockquote>
