Awesome! Thanks

Hello,

I don't regularly post here, and I did a rudimentary search first to see if this has been noted before and didn't see one, so if this has already been addressed please disregard!

In the Player Core, the fighter feat Aggressive Block is a reaction with a trigger that specifies you must use a reaction (shield block), however, you only get one reaction per round.

I imagine you'd be hard-pressed to find a table that followed RAW this strictly and render the feat useless at 2nd level, but it is something I've noticed and was just curious if any others have seen it, and how they handle it.

My interpretation goes a bit like this, and forgive me for the metaphor here..

You are in a room with a stereo with an electronic face that lights up when powered on (which it is), and the volume is muted.

I associate presence or absence of evil with stereo power, and aura with stereo volume. Just because it isn't making noise doesn't mean you are unable to discern whether it's on or off.

Now, even though this goes a little beyond the scope of the initial question, but to expound upon my example, say the volume is set at max before it was muted, and the 3rd round (or pally ability) occurring effectively unmutes stereo... the overwhelming volume is jarring, much like an overwhelming aura is when the relative HD's are far enough apart.
