[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 2904746, member: 386"] In The Shaman's defense, I did almost all of those actions at some time or another. (I can't remember ever grappling or doing a shield rush.) They didn't come up all that often, but they did come up. I pretty vividly remember, in 2e days, a boar charging a PC who had a spear. The spear was set for a charge, and killed the boar; but boars had the special ability to keep going after they were at 0 hp, so I described the boar's wild attempt to continue the charge, driving the spear ever-deeper into its flesh. I used to have my Cleric of St. Cuthbert wear a shield on his back in order to get the shield bonus from that side. Since normally it was only from the front and the right. I remember always trying to get into a good position for a sneak attack whenever I played a Thief (which, with multiclassing, was almost always). But we were pretty lenient on when you could backstab. But 3e does all that better for me. :) You still get the "hack until one falls" feeling sometimes, but less often. I wonder why some groups used those options and other ones didn't. [/QUOTE]
