You can make them zigzag. Move them into any square you want except for invalid squares. Yes, including not at all. This is explicitly called out in the rules. If they can move there with a break check, then yes. If it's hazardous, then they get a save or go prone. In this case, I would...

I find that almost every time I look at a hex map, the example in this thread included, I think they're ugly. Regarding the argument in general, however, has anyone mentioned combining the options? Put the squarish rooms in regular grids and oddly shaped rooms in hexes.

Negative effects already took their course upon delaying. We agree that you can no longer delay. However, just as nothing says you can now take your turn, nothing says you lose your turn either. According to the dazed condition you can still take on action this turn (including free actions)...

Let's discuss these statements because these are at the crux of the issue. These sentences contradict each other somewhat fiercely, from a logical standpoint. Now, I realize we're trying to decipher RAW and not RAI, so I might seem unfair here. Let's take another example. My turn comes and...

Don't you mean if it works for you? Our position is not as a houserule.

That's no more valid than: At the beginning of your turn, determine how many standard, move, minor, and free actions you have. If you are dazed, you have one action (standard, move, OR minor) plus free actions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, nothing changes this. Your "consistent"...

-1 is not a bonus and the rule doesn't say "modifier" it says "bonus." That said, when slowed your speed is now 2. In fact, if you had enough equipment that your speed was a 1, getting slowed speeds you up! :D

There's your problem. Don't blame cruddy equipment or a poorly managed system on the software. CB is a little slow, granted, but your hyperbole is definitely not warranted and my system is 7 years old. Your list of few things are, however, still valid, except for the PDF option. There are so...

Ah, so you didn't even have the common courtesy to revise your post before cross-posting? Thanks for that. Regarding your post itself, tl;dr. <= a recent rude addition to practice which we don't like to see. Thanks. Plane Sailing

God forbid I should ever require that much accuracy. Hell, people play without grids at all and here you not only want grids, you want them at a high enough resolution to support foot-level increments and angles at 35 degrees. Also, you're comparing your houserules to official rules. Of...

Surely, you jest. Do you view only 3 posts per page?

Does this comment mean that you don't have 5ft hexes?

If these are repeatable problems, log a bug. The shortness of two hps seems very odd though and definitely should be repeatable. Okay, there's your problem. When you modify the level, you need to recheck the numbers. Unless a monster is created with all standard values (unusual), then it's...

Doesn't it say "at least 2 squares?" That's what the compendium prints on "flying" as it says is referenced from the MM2. Also, at least in the compendium, crashing still lets you descend up to your fly speed. If other rules have been omitted elsewhere, then obviously these take precedence...

So, your argument is that +4 is not a bonus to your speed. Is it just that speed is simply a variable used in the calculation for a power? I think I follow your reasoning here.

My apologies. Obviously, my post wasn't clear about what my point was because your response had nothing to do with it (I don't think). My comment was purely on the bonuses to speed. A power that allows you to shift 6 has nothing whatsoever to do with it. So, let's compare a power that let's...

But, isn't run a bonus to speed? This errata statement conflicts with itself. Run says "speed +2", which is a bonus to speed. So, no, your general statement that you may move more than your speed is wrong. For example, if a power says you can move your speed +2, then you can still move only...

Of course. That's always the reason. The only roleplaying reason would be to be the center of attention. Do you really think people want to play (e.g.) a bugbear because they're cool? Surely not. Bugbears suck in terms of flavor. The only cool thing about big teddy-bear like goblins is...

I'm kind of with Stumblewyk here. Don't think of it as a restriction on the PC who wants something different, but as a reason to maintain some reasonableness of the game world. Let's say the player picks a minotaur. Well, it just so happens that minotaurs are monsters and 99.9% of the time...

But, Lord Ernie mentioned DDI, and that includes a lot more than CB.
