[QUOTE="Forged Fury, post: 6524732, member: 95059"] If we put a 5' square between each of us in the marching order, it would allow the front-line to retreat if needed, since it would be no more than 20' of movement and everyone should probably have at least that much movement available to them. As we were lined up in the 5' wide hall fighting the first beetle, Colden couldn't have retreated at all without provoking an AoO. The first image is the problem I was trying to address. If he disengaged to avoid AoOs, Colden would have only been able to retreat to the square that Roscoe was occupying, which you can't do. He could use the Dash action to get away, but would draw an AoO in doing so. To fix the problem you bring up, double up the characters on the ends as shown in the second pic. That would allow the frontline to withdraw behind an ally, regardless of whether they have a 30' or 25' move speed, since it would only take 15' of movement. As a last alternative, we could put three deep at the front, then a space, then two. That way, everyone should have enough movement to get to the clear space to retreat if needed.
