[QUOTE="Grendel, post: 17849, member: 1350"] Those of you who do not like character counting squares or hexes. Do you realize you are giving an adventage to the PLAYERS who are able to quickly count or acurately guess the distance between areas. What you are assuming is that the CHARACTER has as little or as much knoledge, skill, or information as the PLAYER. ___________________________________ The only thing I dislike is the ablity of wizard to "center" their fireball exactly so that it hits the monster the PCs are fighting but not the PC's, even though they are actively exchaning blows in combat. But I am able to suspend my disblelive enought that I can imagine said wizard has a perception greater than my own and would be able to guage such things with realative ease. The problem here is assuming that YOU are as (or more) adept than the character (or players characters) that you control. Imagine a heroic action movie with you as the star. How many gunfights will you win, how many master villians will you outsmart, how many minutes will you hold your breath under water. Hopefully not as long as the characters in you campaign, or you are deabilitaing the PC's to a non-heroic level. [/QUOTE]
