[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8607114, member: 22779"] Heh, there's a perfect example that I hadn't actually thought of. OTOH, I REALLY wish 5e would go back to square fireballs. They are such a much better way of handling area of effect than pixelated circles. I get really annoyed with players spending fifteen minutes of game time trying to place that fireball in JJjjjjjuuuuusssstttt the right square. Makes me want to drive a pencil into my ear. Just make the damn things square and be done with it. And 5e is especially bad. There's no 1:2:1 counting in 5e. So, if you play on a grid, then you use 4e geometry for everything EXCEPT spells. :erm: It's really annoying. All those, "Well, is it covering enough of the square to count" moments. Grr, I absolutely hate that part of 5e. [/QUOTE]
