[QUOTE="bento, post: 2933894, member: 36597"] As any person who's played a 3.0 or 3.5 game and dealt with Attack of Opportunity rules, they throw any part of D20 system's elegance out the window. Anytime anything remotely looking like an AoO happens in my game, the yellow flags hit the field and we all scramble for the PHB. Same can be said for grappling. Any semblance of fun is killed as rules chapter and verse are read aloud. As I said earlier, I think many of the aspects of True 20 clear up some of this "fun-killer" because it hews closer to the original intent of D20. While grappling remains, AoO is gone, and damage actually impacts your ability to fight, rather than simply ticking off hit points until you reach 0 and panic. Feats are written in simple paragraph of two or three sentances and skills are combined, like move silent and hide into stealth. Too bad the wealth system blows like it does in D20 Modern. [/QUOTE]
