[QUOTE="FrankTrollman, post: 1206469, member: 14225"] I have no problem with people moving and readying a charge - I've allowed it and it doesn't seem to be a problem. In any case, characters need to be able to "charge" to any square which they could attack the enemy from, not just the closest square. This would go a long way towards fixing Ride By Attack - as characters would be able to draw charge lines that go [i]by[/i] enemies thus allowing them to [i]ride by[/i]. I mean, with the current rules, if you have three characters standing next to each other they can all charge an enemy direct in front of them [i]if they are moving like rooks to do so[/i]. If they are moving like bishops, only one character can charge - and that's just dumb. See, when characters are set up like this: XXX the following squares are available to be charged into: XXX _T_ ___ But if they are diagonal to the enemy, only one square is available, and thus only character can charge: X__ _T_ ___ The target should not be able to "hide behind the grid" - which means that characters need to be able to declare their charge into any of these squares: XX_ XT_ ___ That also helps fix Ride By Attack - but it's essentially needed for sanity in any case. -Frank [/QUOTE]
