[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7320254"] What I don't like about attack granting is that it's too abstract. The Command("Flee!") trick is explained: you're standing within 5' of a mook, the caster uses Command, the mook flees, and that triggers an AoO. But how exactly does attack granting work? What does this brilliant tactician actually [I]do[/I] that allows the rogue to get more attacks per round than the rules allow? Even if it were simply granting Advantage, which doesn't require any combat rules adjustments, I would want to know what the tactician does. Does he distract the enemy? Turn his armor into oatmeal? Throw sand in his eyes? But [I]grant an extra attack[/I]? If there were a rule that said "When X occurs, you get an extra attack action on your turn" we could just say that the tactician makes X happen. But there's no X here. It kind of reminds me of this cartoon: [IMG]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0wRJjXvyZ1I/TN1NJNFeTFI/AAAAAAAAFwE/lcD7Tx1M_A8/s1600/miracle_occurs1.jpg[/IMG] I need more detail on this miracle. [/QUOTE]
