Hi all,
Hope some of you can help me determine if I made an error in my ruling. A player (position P) was caught in a right angle between two enemies (Position X). He tried to use his five foot step to move between the two enemies (position 1). As the DM i ruled that because he attempted to move between two enemy combatants, it was a hampered area and thus he could not. I did allow him to move to position 7 on the grid. Was I incorrect in the spirit of RAW, or does this seem like a fair ruling on my part.

Thanks for any assistance the wise folks here at ENWorld can offer on this.
