isn't that rather exploitative?
Edit: stuff like one character engage then rest sneak in and spam skills before being engaged in combat, or one start the convo while rest spam skills on the enemy.
I dont really think so. If its fight I can predict it will happen, thats exactly how I would approach it in real life... try to bait enemy into exposing themselves, and than ambushing them from advantageous position. Its not exploiting any game mechanic, its just utilizing them, basically giving you chance to adjust your starting position.
Just like in real life, you should never take fair fight - you should always want to get maximum possible advantage and not give your opponent fighting chance.
