D&D 5E Tactical Combat Module, hasn't it always been there?

5th Edition supports tactical combat in the same way 4th Edition supports role-playing.

Tactical combats can be built in different ways, but I think what most people are thinking when they say they want it back into the game is a combat where battlefield mobility is a factor to consider.

In my opinion, this is pretty hard to pull with the optional rules in the DMG, mainly because you cannot have a lot of tactical mobility without some working flanking rules, which the DMG doesn't have.

Definitely part of it. And opportunity attacks too. And a regular cascade of things all seem to inter relate.

Your welcome!

I mean, how else am I gonna have the Party fighter strike down Mook 1, flip over Mook 2 by using it's momentum during the failed "strike", then follow with a Shawn Michael style SWEET CHIN MUSIC kick to take out Mook 2 if Cleaving Through doesn't affect non damaged enemies. Too stylish to pass up.

Gaaaah I watched in the 90's. I'm just a sexy boy.........

You can suffer as well.

I have decided to be a little bit petty. I probably shouldn't, but I find myself rather annoyed and wanting to prove a point.

Mod Note

Your initial read on this was correct - you are being petty, and you shouldn't.

This "calling out" stuff... is kinda junior high school behavior, isn't it? Like, "OMG, a fight under the bleachers after school! If Johnny doesn't show up, he'll be humiliated in front of everyone! Oh noes!"

You really thought this kind of posturing would have a positive effect? Annoyed or not, is this really how you want to present yourself - so prideful that when someone gets things wrong about you, you have to make a big public stink about it? Are you really sure you are proving the point you think you are? Because "I actually did have answers to your quesetions" is not the major message at this point...
