No plotting the best path for a 60' moving monk right? get that figure in place and declare your flurry or not in 6 seconds or else! right?or do you mean to just stick this timer up the mage's ...  HINT: Everyone uses the grid and its precise scale to plan and execute and make their actions work, not just the mages.Look at this case...Your fighter looks at the map and sees the enemy some 60'-70' away.  he has a move 30. he KNOWS if they are 65' or less from him he can charge and swing. he knows if they are 70' away from him a full charge will result in him coming up 5' short and them getting a 5' step FRA set of swings.So whats Bob your fighter player going to do? Moreover, what HAS HE DONE dozens of times already in your game?Answer is most likely looked and counted squares and if it came up 70 he probably made a SMART call and moved 30' and shot a bow or readied an action or moved to cover or some action smarter than running up to ALMOSt get a swing but give them FRA swings.You probably considered this TACTICS and WISE DECISIONS.How many times did you when he started his action have him roll to see if he, when guessing distance, made as little as a 5' error? Probably none.But if the Tony the  mage player looks and sees the enemy and throws a fireball 50' so that its boom stops in the 5' swuare ahead of his friendlies, NOW ITS AN ABUSE!!!! Why Why WHY how can the mage be thinging he can correctly gauge distances to within a 5' precisions? Why Why WHY thats an ABUSE."Geesh Tony why do you have to be such an abuser? Oh and Bob good decisions there to move for cover when the enemy was just out of reach. They would have had you lunch if you had moved up."</blockquote>
