[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6720334, member: 11146"] [ooc]The wall, the size L of the giant spider, the 5' narrowness of the doorway, and the broken down door work in concert to preclude movement on a diagonal past the wall into the room for characters other than Roscoe. The wall, particularly, is the source of your inability to move on a diagonal (see PHB 192, Playing on a Grid, "Corners. Diagonal movement can't cross the corner of a [b]wall,[/b] large tree, or other terrain feature that fills the space.") The size of the spider, the narrowness of the doorway, and the broken down door are additional complicating factors. Roscoe, however, with his Halfling Nimbleness ability, is an exception to the complicating factors described above. His Halfling Nimbleness does the trick because it permits him to "move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than [his]." [B]Upshot:[/B] Roscoe can move underneath the giant spider and can make it to H30. Here, he'll be passing through the spider's squares, not moving on a diagonal around the wall. If anyone's interested, cites I relied on for this include: PHB 28, 190 (difficult terrain), 191 (moving around other creatures, size categories), 192 (playing on a grid), and MM 6 (size categories).[/ooc] Roscoe muscles past Spec and darts beneath the giant spider, slashing at the hulking thing's underbelly as he maneuvers adroitly into the room, and dealing [color=red]9 points[/color] of damage.
