[QUOTE="Xetheral, post: 8032300, member: 6802765"] I have a quick question about your approach. You've narrated the Barbarian drawing his weapon and charging towards the orcs, but the Barbarian won't take his first turn until after the orcs go. On the orcs' turn, what square is the Barbarian standing in? (This matters for determining which orcs can reach the Barbarian, opportunity attacks, weapon ranges, and, if he dies, which square his body falls in.) Is the Barbarian still in the square he started in? Has he moved his speed and is now in melee range of one or more orcs? Is he actively in the process of moving and so halfway between his original space and the closest orc? Also, if an orc does provoke an attack of opportunity from the Barbarian, does the Barbarian have his weapon drawn because you narrated that he drew it? Or since the Barbarian hasn't had an action yet with which to draw his weapon, is he still unarmed when the opportunity attack is provoked? For clarity, my questions are not meant as criticism. My questions don't have right or wrong answers--I'm just curious how you would personally resolve them under your approach. [/QUOTE]
