That makes quite a bit of sense. It wouldn't be great for enemy AI reactions to be predictable, used on the first attack no matter what, and that means coding the AI to be smart about the reactions. And if the AI is smart about how it uses its reactions, it would be quite annoying for the player's reactions to be dumb, always used on the first attack no matter what.

That's kind of my point. If they AI is smart enough (and don't they have to do something so enemy reactions aren't trivialized?), then the coding for conditions to trigger reactions will already be there, which should then just be made available to us.
