All of which takes maybe a few seconds, not a huge deal. But it's still time and it all adds up. If you're playing 13th Age that question would not even get asked - the spell itself immediately gives you the answer without much room for questions like these. Have you played it? Or The One Ring? Because if you haven't then, respectfully, you're not really in a good position to compare the two.Also, saying a manticore is at 100 feet is not the same as saying it's far away. Because if you have a spell with a range of 90' (e.g. Hex) then you first have to move forwards, which under the circumstances may be tricky. But if you want to use a spell with a range of 60' (e.g. Polymorph) then you first have to move forwards twice and you may need to revise your plan entirely. 13th Age only recognizes three ranges: Engaged in melee, nearby, and far away. If you think that doesn't shave off a lot of time then I urge you to actually play the game some time because you might be in for a pleasant surprise.</blockquote>
