[QUOTE="Foxman, post: 4480339, member: 62088"] 1) monsters have the same advantage as the players - so its a wash 2) the system is *designed* to use the 1:1 on the diag, you change that and there are numerous things that start to break down (lines don't go as far, blasts/bursts change shape, adventures designed with maps designed on the 1:1 ratio may be harder using the 1:1.5 ratio because movement is reduced, and MORE) 3) Using 1:1 *speeds up* play - it may be a simplification, but so are HP ;). Why? Easier to count distance for movement/spells/attacks, etc. 4) Mobility, the game is designed to include more mobility, moving around and getting to do cool stuff, that gets cut down. When I heard they were going to 1:1 I was annoyed and didnt like the idea. After using it, I think it works. Not a huge fan, but it does *work*. Its like the butterfly effect - change one small rule, and you have a mydrid of effects that change the whole game system that you need to adjust. If you adjust those, they have further effects. It just ripples out from there. [/QUOTE]
