While there is less incentive to stand still (because you no longer lose full attacks) I still don't see why there is any incentive to move around just because you can (especially if you know you will provoke an OA if you do).So if I am a NPC and start my turn next to a fighter why should I move? Just make the best of it and hit the fighter. Or at least shift (so that the fighter only get's a normal attack and not an OA) and then move after you shifted out of his threat rangeDex damage on a miss sounds nice. I am still a little bit disappointed that swords use Str and Dex because I think dex is one of the less usefell stats for a fighter with heavy armor. However I definately want to use a 2h sword, no mater how bad it's rulewise. I am just disappointed because it seems so much worse than either 1h sword + shield or 2h hammer/axe. Maybe once I can look through the books I find something that makes it more worthwhile</blockquote>
