[QUOTE="Gorgoroth, post: 5947382, member: 6674889"] [b]I don't[/b] see what the problem is...he said they're making combat maneuvers hard-baked in a rules module to avoid this type of adjucation and DM-may-I. Just play in a group where that's the norm, or ask it to be enabled once you realize it's annoying to keep having to adjudicate common things. If I were DMing, and not using that rule for expediency, and a certain fighter or rogue was always doing stuff like that, it would be LESS work for me, and easier, to just enable the rule, than to answer all those DM-may-I questions, which would get annoying after a while. (from both ends of the table, obviously). that way you can play a fast-n-loose combat one minute, and the next have something come up that's got common solutions right there. Or put suggestions that gel well with the common things someone might do in the DMG, or even the PHB, without that maneuver module enabled, that would result in a similar if not exactly the same outcome and probability of success.
