In the new system, it's frustrating that you FINALLY get a "Reverse" to land, and then the NPC immediately reverses again before you get a chance to take a single action. Maybe when a NPC has the better position and you land a reverse, the NPC shouldn't get an action at all until the next turn?
Edit - LOL, just landed a "Grapple from Behind" on Auriel, and not only did she get out of it, but she then used the super rigged / op magical shackle spell on my character all before I got my next turn. Pretty unplayable currently.
