If they want to track their own AoO, that's what I give them. If I were to DM for a group I'd never gamed with before, at a convention perhaps, and they liked the idea of having AoO that might otherwise be missed pointed out to them, then that's what I'd give them. This topic has got me thinking about something that could be related - how many of you use miniatures/counters on a 1" grid when you play? I do this (counters and grid), and doing so makes most AoO easy to spot, for DM and players. I think we'd all agree that trying to keep track of AoO without visual aids is very difficult.I guess what I'm wondering is if the two different viewpoints on whether or not to point out AoO to players (or viceversa to the DM) is somehow related to the use of minis/counters.So help yourself to some virtual eggnog and share your thoughts <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Edit: Fixed typo that snuck in because my eggnog's spiked <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
