[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8283337, member: 20564"] "Break the game" is a bit open ended. Action economy is a big deal in the game, and it already doesn't handle when one side or the other hand a lot more or less - usually through incompatible numbers. If there's more on one side, there's more opportunities to trigger reactions already, and now more reactions to go around. This will exasperate that issue. Some classes and builds can make better use of reactions. This furthers that imbalance. A rogue getting three sneak attacks during a round - one on their turn, and more from (sometimes triggered) OAs or things like Commander's Strike or Order Cleric. That starts to get quite powerful. A martial with sentinel at a choke point can shut down a bunch of foes - and cause rules issues but reducing two creatures to 0 speed in the same square Being able to pull out multiple magical defenses in the same turn as opposed to leaving yourself vulnerable by picking one helps casters. If you did Absorb Elements you can still do Shield later. Or even another Absorb Elements since that spell is single source. Some class features, like the Glamour Bard's Mantle of Inspiration grant bonuses to a good number of people and then additional bonuses if they can spend their reaction. So certain classes can take advantage that others have more as well. All in all it will have an effect on play that will be uneven based on the classes, features, and feats that the players have.
