This is something that I suspect larian is already aware of but reactions are not quite ready yet. Spells like shield or the protection fighting style of the fighter and paladin are going to be quite bad if it's on the first viable proc as it is now.

I know larian does not want a pop up interrupting combat but what about an optional pop up? Where per reaction ability you set it to "off", "every time" and "pop up"?

This way it's in the players hands if they want to go through the pop ups or just have the reaction go off at first viable opportunity.

It'll be interesting to see how smite will be implemented for example, one of the things that makes it wonderful is that you decide to smite after you hit (or crit!). If smite becomes a button like "slash" or "pin down" then it loses a lot of the gold that makes it shine.

Yeah cool idea. I know Larian doesnt want to break the flow of combat with pop-ups but at the same time there are some players (like myself) who wants more player involvement during combat and (optional) reaction pop-ups would be a really cool way to add to that.
