Aborts
How is an abort different from an immediate action outside of the fact that the immediate action cancels only the swift action? Also, making Attacks of Opportunity take up an action outside of its own type is a huge nerf of that subsystem, as long as no other bonus counteracts the change. Also, flat-footed creatures should not be able to make abort actions, and that should be especially noted here. --Havvy 11:00, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The abort action is intended to represent giving up on an action to take advantage of an opportunity. Effectively, it is a not-so-free action. The reason I made many already existing action abort actions is because they already should have been, at least in my mind. Especially the attack of opportunity. It makes no sense when you are looking at the rules system from how D&D wants combat to work vs. how it states actions work. Yes, there should be actions that open one's self up for attack, but that free attack against you should cost something, especially when you throw Combat Reflexes in. --Change=Chaos. Period.
