Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lost in Thyme" data-source="post: 4381688" data-attributes="member: 70953">I hope this is the correct place for this question regarding Opportunity Attacks.In older editions of DnD, if you entered an area that an enemies threatens, without taking a 5 ft step, then they got to take an Attack of Opportunity on you.In 4e, an enemy only gets an Opportunity Attack, if you leave a square they threaten.I personally like the change, the people I play with don't.So, I've decided to ask you all, hopefully without starting any flame wars or edition wars, why was the change made?What would happen if it got house ruled back it? (Attack of Opportunity on entering a threatened square)How would it effect the balance of the game?More importantly to me, how would it effect the powers of a Paladin, a Rogue, a Fighter, and a Warlock?Note, I'm not the GM for this game of DnD, even though I might run this same group later. The GM for the game hasn't currently ruled AoO on entering back in, but he is thinking about it.So thank you for any answers or support you can give.I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.If links to older threads on this subject exist, I'd love to see them.I'm sorry if my grammar or spelling is bad, I took sleep meds over 2.5 hours ago, and I'm not thinking clearly.Peace and Long Life</blockquote>
