[QUOTE="Hrothgar Rannúlfr, post: 4952833, member: 54436"] Right about that, Voadam. However, I've been thinking of adopting something like the Pathfinder variant concerning concentration. I don't have it memorized, but it's not a skill that spellcasters sink points into in that system, but the DC to cast on the defensive to avoid an AoO is higher. Yeah... I've been trying to figure out how to handle charging. Can't seem to get anyone to do it because they're afraid of their characters taking an AoO. Guess they should take Mobility? :D Yeah, that one really bothers me. It shouldn't be a freebie to fire a bow while standing right next to your target. Right. I don't mind manuevers that make sense, but spamming cheesy manuevers just to exploit a rule or lack thereof bothers me. Yes, they are. But, I almost feel like giving Combat Reflexes might feel like a "Gotcha" if AoO's become really rare. The player's might feel like I'm cheeting if a group of elite hill giant bodyguards all have Combat Reflexes, if they're not used to seeing AoO's regularly. If I were to adopt this system, the answer would depend upon the big creatures dexterity. The way I wrote the possible revisions to the feats, the creature would have to have a 10 dex to even get one AoO with the Combat Reflexes feat. I don't know off the top of my head what the usual Dexterity is for most big creatures. Good thoughts... Thanks for posting! :D [/QUOTE]
