Legolas' player says: Ultra overwatch area.Legolas uses ultra overwatch rather than basic overwatch because he's such an expert with his bow. Someone armed with only a crossbow could set overwatch as a held action, but they would only ever get to shoot one orc rather than do ridiculous high-speed elf archeryAragorn thinks: We need to prevent anyone crossing that 10' wide bridgeMechanics say: fighters have a zone of control around them to prevent people doing a conga-line pastAragorn thinks: Boromir's zone of control means he can guard the whole bridgeAragorn says: Boromir. Onto that bridge. Guard it all.Boromir's zone of control means that the orcs fight him rather than rush past to get the hobbits.Most of these mechanics are trying to codify what veterans would try and do that's beyond just walking up to someone and hitting them.</blockquote>
