[QUOTE="Azlan, post: 2767378, member: 2340"] For all those here yammering about how unrealistic, unfair, and/or un-fun it would be, taking away the 5'-step loophole that allows one to avoid an AoO while drinking a potion; consider this... Potions of healing are pretty cheap, right? So, humanoid opponents of CR 1 or better should be able to afford and use potions of healing. But why keep those potions in their footlockers or in hidey holes, or even in their backpacks, for the player characters to find and keep for themselves, after the humanoids are dispatched? Why shouldn't these humanoids keep their potions handy in combat, just like player characters do? And so, why shouldn't these humanoids take 5' steps back in the middle of combat and drink their healing potions, thus prolonging the fight? Well, if a DM does this often enough, I bet before long the players will be yammering about how unrealistic, unfair, and un-fun [i]that[/i] is. [/QUOTE]
