Reloading bows is probably something you want to let people do.

And from what Doug wrote Feints and so on WERE in the demo.
I don't recall people using ranged attackers much if at all. I recall seeing Feints maybe one or twice, but not often.

Which is only part of the equation. "So I can dodge but they can't?" seems like a tiresome question to answer repeatedly.

I'll give you they might think that only PCs get an active defence but I doubt it, because sooner or later one of them will all out attack and lose it. They'll see the difference right then.
Pretty much. Again, I was there. It worked. People liked what they saw. I'm not about to armchair quarterback the GM or the demo folks. That's bout all I need to say on the subject I think.
