I was playing in 2 not so long ago.In none of these games do I see PCs doing OAs often.I suspect that people who claim that they do OAs a lot are doing them a lot less frequently then they are. I do not think that my experience is that uncommon due to the fact that it repeats regardless of which group of players I am with.Rather, I suspect that people remember the OAs because they are rare. It seems like they happen a lot because people remember them as special.So, I challenge you and keterys to keep track of how many DM OAs and PC OAs that you have in your next 10 encounters. Just have a small slip of paper and put a tiny line on it each time it occurs. Don't tell the other players and/or DMs what you are doing. And, keep your OAs separated from the OAs of other players (since you know about the experiment, we want to see how it plays out vs. people who do not know about it).Just to be scientific about it. I'll do the same if you will.Are you up to the challenge? Are you willing to see if your opinion matches reality?Or do you think that you are exaggerating and that the challenge will illustrate that your POV is in error and you are unwilling to find out?And, anyone else here can play along. Let's see if our opinions match reality.</blockquote>
