[QUOTE="Psion, post: 1039431, member: 172"] No it doesn't. Since there are zero rules to "hit" a "head" or a "flank" or to restrict where you can attack, there is no facing. So you need special modifying rules to what claims to be a simple system? This is my problem with WoD, too. So chariots can't trample now? I thought that was self evident, but let me amplify. You get a creature that is NOT ten feet wide that all the sudden cannot get full cover behind a 5' pillar because some "fighting space" arbritrarily assigned to him forces him to be exposed on one side or the other. You do realize that normal humans are much less than 5' across right? Use a tape measure if you don't beleive me. What [i]I[/i] don't beleive is that ogre is going to be swiping at creatures over 30' apart. No, excessive abstraction and re-abstracting cases that are already abstract (like adding a fighting zone to creatures that already have fighting space) is just silly. [/QUOTE]
