And you can get more of both as you advance.What I have noticed is that reactions is where it is at tactically. Because some of them require no expenditure, or roll, on the player's part. For example: skulk, if you are within reach (1 square away or adjacent) of a non targeted character, you can "use them" as a shield. If that is the case, they take the hit, not you.In my last game I created a NPC to challenge the player who had a reach of 10. I put the players in a small area. I gave him two reactions. He proved to be a problem.And that is just the beginning with reactions. There is counterstrike which allows you to do 1/2 damage back to anyone who hits you. And on and on. But I didn't realize the power and fun of reactions till my players started using them on my NPCs.Now I do and it has been fun to use them as well.Additionally their is Focus. Its a mental resource, and it powers some powers. I wish it cost players more to use, as it would make it more important of a decision, but it is there, and it still costs.</blockquote>
