They're there to breath life into the characters in the story, to talk to the NPCs, to make decisons and take actions. They're responsible for playing their character appropriately and good players will do their bit to ensure that other players in the game have something to do, don't get shouted down and encouraged to roleplay as well.One of the roles of the DM is to make the rules as transparent as possible. A player only needs to know the rules well enough so they don't distrupt the game. I honestly can't believe DMs would ever willingly let a player miss out on a valid AoO. It seems to be popular here - and it's choking.The DM should jolly well describe the way the orc makes a clumsy lunge forward and leaves himself open to an attack by doing so. You're not really DMing if you don't do this. You're performing some other sort of role, one that doesn't provide the players with the cooperation due. Do you expect your players to keep track of the hit points the monsters have left and keep on running them unless the players notice their enemies should be dead?</blockquote>
