I expect a reasonable mastery of the game.  For those who argue the characters are meant to simulate heroes who would know better - Look at video games.  Often the main character in adventure type games is meant to be a hero, but until you get used to the controls - the world's jumping/attacking/moving engine, you can appear quite awkward.I think the players who complain about missing an AoO here or there are basically like those who pick up a video game controller and are frustrated in the first 10 min when they are not the complete masters of the game. Kinda whiny.</blockquote>
