We were scared of slowdowns and long loops.But, frankly, after playing for 6 months a campaign where the tactical it's pretty important and the fights are full of AoOs cause of my character (warrior lock -kinda- build), it just takes a bit longer than standard, but even the simplest encounters require wise tactical choiches. Our DM challenges us hard, with lots of special attacks like Overrun, Trip, Disarm and such: after the earlier, devastating fights, we learded the hard way how funny can be a more chess-like approach despite a more classical "charge, nuke, heal" way. Now, we absolutly avoid provoking AoOs unless the situation really requires it.Plus, usually i'm the only on the ground with Combat Expertise, so infinite loops are really a non-isse. Maybe it's just me, but i'm now having more fun in playing a game i know since 10 years <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Roleplay it's always funny, but fight used to be pretty stramline.</blockquote>
