I've also said there's no need to quote them again, but people still do. :sigh:I've said I don't like them. They interrupt the flow of combat and break the immersion of the game 9 times out of 10 because someone is bound at some point going to query something about AoO partway through a combat. This kills the magic, and we're no longer involved in a battle between a party of heroes and a gang f evil bugbear mercenaries (or whatever) but 5 guys sat at a table rolling dice and looking like fools. That's happened in too many D&D games than I care to mention. Next thing, the rule books are out and combat is halted, mid-swing.I'll say it again. AoO kills the magic, dead. It does for us, and does for a lot of other gamers I've talked too as well. If you want to think you're cleverer than us as a result because hey, you use AoO and we don't then that's fine by me. You're wrong, but that's fine by me <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=":)" />So, we've ruled in our group not to use it. Ever. This way combat goes on nice and quickly without the rules having to be quoted to clarify crap. If situations arise where a hero wants to jump past a few critters to take a swipe at the BBEG before he pulls the Lever of Doom, then we just say "Fine, but they'll get a free hit on you." and move on. Call it AoO in action if it makes you feel better. I really don't care.:grin:Do you really want to know......................??!??!????</blockquote>
