(Favoring natural Dex.)5) If criteria 4 still results in a tie, then it is up to the GA to determine the order; there cannot be TRUE simultaneous action. One suggested rule of thumb would be that these ties could be broken by a roll-off, or the GA might use some mundane method to decide, such as the first letter of the PCs' names (alphabetical order) or perhaps judging by physical characteristics (the small, light-weight Halfling can probably edge out the larger, bulkier, less-nimble-footed Dwarf, etc.)[/gm][gm]Some guidelines for missile fire:The entire encounter area (which spans two maps) is 26 squares (130 ft.) wide.If you are at the extreme ends of the map, firing across it with a longbow will be at the second range increment, i.e., 111-220 ft., which is a -2 range penalty to hit.If you are at the extreme ends of the map, firing across it with a shortbow will be at the third range increment, i.e., 121-180 ft., which is a -4 range penalty to hit.If you can get to within 110 ft. with a longbow, or within 60 ft. with a shortbow, you will eliminate your range penalty.For reference, the range between Sylvar and Pomarj Orc #4 = 14 squares (70 ft.)[/gm]DEWYDD: It's Your Turn!
