Optional Attack of Opportunity

Post by Security_Blanket » Sun May 07, 2023 11:04 am

My suggestion is to add an option to disable Attacks of Opportunity on characters. For some characters it doesn't make any sense. Why would a low BAB character caster waste a perfectly good round attempting to jab someone with their staff rather than cast a spell, even if there was an opening? I've even seen AoO abused by players where they would equip a sling, firing off rocks at point blank range to force an AoO and mess with the caster's tactics.
