I'm going through it, but something I caught right off the bat.Fall Back, is basically the only thing in that entire section that is not actually an action (or part of an action)....its a Reaction. So it feels very strange to be right smack in the middle of the action section. I think that could cause some confusion.A couple of things I've noted as I did my first skim.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">TWF: You get 2 attacks with your bonus action if they have Extra Attack.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Crits: Now do a full double damage (rolls + base damage), not just rolls.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mounted Combat now explicitly gives you cover bonuses to AC. One thing that's unclear is that do you get the expertise dice for being on "higher ground".... as there is a section for that, but since its not covered in mounted combat I'm left to wonder.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Attackers can choose to inflict a death fail OR give you fatigue/strife instead. Interesting idea for DMs that don't want to kill players but do want them to fell the pain, or for interrogration/torture. Crits now do 1 fatigue + 1 death fail/fatigue/strife....so there is no 2 death save attacks anymore that I see.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The rules for killing you by damage has changed, its now the more old school "massive damage" type mechanic.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Doomed is a cool mechanic, I like it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I like a player can turn a critical hit into a regular one by gaining fatigue. For a cinematic moment its great....though the fatigue in generally is much harder to heal so its not something just would just do willy nilly.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">One confusion on Fatigue: It says you get fatigue "when you fall unconscious 2+ times in combat". So on the third unconscious, do I get a new fatigue or is it one time per encounter? That part is not clear to me.</li> </ul></blockquote>
