“It’s probably Matt Mercer’s fault.”
New thought experiment: there's a character at one end of a 20' long corridor. At the other end, in an open room, is a caster controlling a flaming sphere, which they are currently standing behind.
1) On the first character's turn, they use their 30' of movement to go down the corridor and into the room. They use their last 10' to go sideways into a corner.
2) On the caster's turn, they move their flaming sphere down the 20' corridor to the other end.
According to the rules, the first character didn't encounter the flaming sphere.
Does it bother anybody that the only way for that to be true is for the turns to actually be sequential, not simultaneous?
