But if the attacker is in the back of his square and the foe he is attacking is the back of his then there is roughly 7 ft of distance being covered here.Remember that the combat rules for D&D are very, very abstract. When trying to apply too much "logic" and detail you will only end up putting yourself into a never ending cycle of "what ifs?"</blockquote>
