Location specific damage having various effects. Creature size playing a part in how easily it dodges or hits something. Character facing playing a part in determining character alertness to specific locations and creatures on the map. Terrain granting bonuses for elevation, cover, concealment, etc... Longer list of standard actions: charge, group defense, etc... Realistic threat and damage areas of spells and ranged attacks into melee. Positioning specific perks for flanking of various types. etc...
