[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5991249, member: 2067"] So, for me, 20 feet doesn't exist in the game world. I can't easily envision what 20 feet looks like in the game world. "20 feet" might as well be "2,543 Smilparns." They have just about the same amount of meaning to me. Blame the American School System and my lack of left-braindedness. ;) What does have a meaning to me is a more concrete relative measurement. Is the guy I want to hit HERE or is he OVER THERE or is he WAY THE HECK OVER THERE? And is he close by other mooks? Ultimately, that's what the feet measurements are used for anyway. I just kind of want to cut out the middle man and make it easier to parse in the moment. NEXT TO has some concrete value for me. "5 feet away" might as well be "Arrogant goldfish quahogging widdershins" for all it tells me about what's actually going on in the game world. [/QUOTE]
