"Just add AoOs to the game" bugs me a heck of a lot more. If I want to design my own combat system, I will, and I don't need to pay for that. And it seems highly unlikely that adding something like AoOs won't have unintended consequences.
Here's the disconnect I have. If there is a 30% chance that Herc is gonna lose, then by definition the check is in doubt.
