[QUOTE="Goobermunch, post: 920474, member: 10516"] You've got a good opinion there. I even agree with some of it. However, my group often has discussions that go off along the lines of: X: "If the Purple Worm just charged past me to chew on the cleric last round, how can I be the subject of a bite attack? I'm all the way over here." X ____________ .......................C Group: "There is no facing in Third Edition." X: "Oh yeah." By converting that long, thin purple worm to a square base, it makes it easier to envision the purple worm coiling up and striking at everything in reach. It more clearly shows which squares the worm is likely to be using as it makes its melee attacks. To my mind, this basically makes the monsters more effective in combat and helps to improve the verisimiltude of the game. I'll admit that we never really complained about it, but viewing the problem in light of the solution, it detracted from the game. So I'm in favor of the new shapes. --G [/QUOTE]
