Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fundin Strongarm" data-source="post: 1957715" data-attributes="member: 11383">I had a situation in my game from a couple weeks ago and wondered if we played it correctly.  I had a couple Gnolls with speed 20 running away from the party, the fastest of whom had speed 30.  Assuming a 10 foot wide corrdor and the gnolls side by side, is there any way the party could actually catch the Gnolls and get an attack on them?  If the hallway is straight, the Gnolls can move 80 feet in a round.  The party can only charge 60 feet.Also, if there were only one Gnoll, I can see one of the party being able to run past the Gnoll.  However, this would provoke an AoO, both as the party member passed the Gnoll and again if the Gnoll decided to run past the party member.You could even have a situation where something with speed 20 running at 5 times their speed keeping out of attack range of a pursuing Monk with speed 40.  Just seems strange that someone twice as fast as someone else can quite seem to catch him.What, if anything, am I overlooking?  Thanks in advance.BTW, I'm playing D&D3.0 if that matters.  (If it does matter, what's different in 3.5?)</blockquote>
