[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6947281, member: 6669384"] Reading back I think I got confused. You were unclear whether you example is of the large creature moving or the small. Also you illustation shows the small creature standing, not in a square, but on a line junction. Medium creatures "snap to grid" and are centered in a square. Large creatures also "snap to grid" but stand in four squares. Huge creatures "snap to grid" but occupy none squares. Each commands an area around them that is usually equal to their base size. That is a Medium creature (5' base) threatens an area 5' around them. Large creatures with a 10' base usually have 10' reach as well. (Usually, but not always). Presuming that Creature B in your first illustration was medium and snapped to grid inside creature A's threat range, any further movement would provoke. If on the other hand creature B is Large and occupying one square in creature A's threat area, more movement wouldn't provoke. Every threatened square he was occupying in illustration 1 is still being occupied in illustration 2. [/QUOTE]
