[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 5546203, member: 232"] I'm happy to tangent since you seem to want to. :D Most combat maneuvers once they get used once or twice people should learn them. I also tell my players that if they are planning to use any of the special maneuver abilities they should learn them before they come to the first session. While playing a system does help there is no reason people can't learn the rules for their own character prior to playing the game. Feat requirements don't matter in game. I can honestly say in the over a decade I've played 3e I've never seen it come up and I'm not sure in what rare instance it would. These should be on the character sheet or known before hand. People need to be responsibility for the abilities of their own characters. If you can't be bothered to learn how sneak attack works for instance then why play a rouge? All it takes a commitment to learn the rules. Playing the game while it helps is not the right answer. I know and have meet people at cons who have played games for many years and still don't know how to play their character. One has to read the books and be willing to learn the rules. If you aren't willing to do that then just playing the game is not going to get you there if you aren't willing to learn. [/QUOTE]
