[QUOTE="Satirical Bard, post: 8450723, member: 7032732"] I don't think that's true at all. In-game, your character is making tactical decisions about whether to fall back or stand their ground, knowing both have consequences. That's a straightforwardly in-game tactical decision in my book, and far less metagamey than AC or HP. The thing to note is that this feature is not a mistake and has been thoroughly playtested, and offers a new tatical (sorry) option for players and DMs to make combat more interesting. It's certainly easy enough for groups to choose not to add it to their games - nothing else is co-dependent on it. But you're obviously set in your position and we're pretty much all now just repeating ourselves, so I don't think it's going to help anyone for us to keep this going. I hope you can enjoy some of the other elements of the books. I understand the new MM, for example, should be easier to seamlessly add to an existing o5e game without any other consequent changes. I just used the goblin alchemist and goblin warlock in a battle last night and while I didn't get a chance to pop out [I]Surprise Sacrifice[/I] (dang), even imaging it added to my weekend delight.
