[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7483863, member: 6801845"] [MENTION=16814]Ovinomancer[/MENTION], Was it so hard to actually tell someone specifically what you were upset about? Like I had asked you to do multiple times? This is similar to how you would keep pestering me about my answer ... nothing I said seemed to "explain" it to you. But, once again I meant no offense. I'm sorry I misunderstood what you meant. I skipped over some details I didn't mean to. The thing is, I have DMed for people who thought their halfling could attack from behind the fighter with advantage. I've also seen people say that because the rogue is hidden around a corner they could "lean out" to attack with advantage. In both these cases they expected that the rogue would get advantage every round every time with a simple D20 roll. There's nothing wrong with running the game that way, it's just not the way I run the game. It sounds like you're a little more liberal than I am, which also perfectly fine. As far as being able to get advantage the first time, it's really dependent on the scene and something I probably was not completely clear on. Basically, it's a judgement call. Someone might be able to step out and fire, they're not going to be able to step out and move down the all. But even the stepping out bit is iffy. It depends. A single fighter attacking multiple guards? Multiple melee folks attacking the same guard from different directions? Is the hallway in the crystal castle with crisp white walls everywhere or a more typical castle with barrels in the hall, tapestries on fire from the fireball the mage just cast, dogs fleeing for their lives? How much clutter and chaos is there? In any case, instead of just vague attacks and questions you could just ask for specific clarifications. [/QUOTE]
