[QUOTE="Gadget, post: 7935842, member: 23716"] Yes. This. In fairness to OP, I think many of the options in the DMG are overlooked when complaints are voiced, but I'm not sure they constitute a solid tactical combat module that some of the die-hards want. It is more like some designers spit-balling a few rough ideas to throw in there to "see what sticks." Some of the options, like the flanking rule, just are not that well thought out and not what many are looking for. Some others just need more refinement (and perhaps tweaks to the rest of the system) to make really work, like the altered the Rest mechanics. This would be especially disappointing for someone coming from 4e, which was accused of being a 'tactical miniatures' game. Probably also to hard core 3.x options aficionados as well. I think that, at the end of the day, WOTC has shifted their focus away from such features, and it's hard to argue against success. [/QUOTE]
