[QUOTE="Magus Coeruleus, post: 197272, member: 1704"] [b]What would YOU do?[/b] Imagine your 6 PCs want to cross a lake on a raft, and build it 10x10. That seems a plenty good size for a raft to hold 6 people, right? Okay, so now they're crossing the lake when they get attacked by some pixies--enter combat mode. There are only 4 5-foot squares on the raft. Do you force 2 PCs off the raft and into the lake? Do you let them all stay but only let 4 attack, and if so do the ones doubling up take penalties, or do you let them all fight but with some penalty for sharing a space, where applicable? The problem I allude to with this example is this: While it's all well and good to say that you can't stack more than 1 med size creature per 5' square in a fight, it's not uncommon to have noncombat situations where creatures would be packed in more densely. What happens if you then go into combat, and there's nowhere to spread? [/QUOTE]
