[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 8283309, member: 58416"] Normally, a 5E character only gets 1 reaction. Most of the time, that is fine. However, I am of the opinion that there may be aspects of the game which may benefit from allowing more than 1. For example, creating a front line to protect squishy party members is difficult to do when a character can only attempt to hit/stop one enemy. There are also fighting styles -such as the protection style- which seem rather weak because you get one use per turn and then your fighting style effectively turns off (as opposed to being constantly usable like most styles are). Also, I feel as though combat could feel less static if there are more opportunities to react to what is happening and engage in the action. I do not want an unlimited number of reactions. Off the top of my head, my rough idea is to either allow something like [# of reactions = 1/2 proficiency bonus (round up)]. This would mean 1 reaction for levels 1 - 4; 2r for levels 5 - 12; and 3r for levels 13 - 20. How do you feel this would change play? More importantly, would this break the game? [/QUOTE]
