[QUOTE="pneumatik, post: 4105616, member: 21087"] [b]Turn the mat 45 degrees[/b] I've been thinking about turning the battlemat 45 degrees at least when I run outdoor encounters. Depending on how tricky it is to draw a dungeon on a rotated battlemat, I may also do it for indoor encounters. Like others here, the only thing about 1-1-1 that bugs gets me is that it doesn't cost extra movement to move around something that's between me and where I want to go.
