[QUOTE="jaer, post: 4091653, member: 57861"] Again, it is a matter of order. If the player says, "I want to find some side alley I can duck down and escape out of." I would have them make a streetwise check and tell them which alley that is. It might not be an alley they can get to on this turn...it's too far down the street. If the player says "I duck down this alley and hide from the guard" then they indeed duck down Murderer's Alley cause that is what they said they were doing. It is the one they were next to, the one they ducked down to hide. That to me is one of the big differences in my style to 4e style. My style doesn't assume any alleyway you see around you could be the one with the escape route in it. If Murderer's alley is the closest alley and it doesn't have an exit, then the player cannot escape through an alleyway that turn. A streetwise check, however, would reveal where they needed to go to escape through one next turn. [/QUOTE]
