[QUOTE="Jay Verkuilen, post: 7521200, member: 6873517"] I get what they were trying to do, but I really disliked how blatantly and unabashedly game mechanical the milestone was. That was my feeling with a lot of 4E, though. Yes, to a degree they do and 5E still has a reaction, but it's much more limited. You only have [I]one[/I] reaction for one AOO, dodge, Shield spell, Counterspell, etc. 4E wasn't nearly as limited in that respect. In a campaign I played in, one of the PCs was a bard named Kortuss. His nickname was, of course, "Kortuss Interuptus". The power of being able to move an ally a square was often worthless, too, so half the time he'd be asking if someone wanted to be moved and the character wouldn't want to be moved. I also agree that in a smaller group this was good. I generally prefer a smaller group and D&D often runs into the problem that its strident niche protection means that you often have a party that can't do things it needs to.
