How do you. . .

Huh? How is this different from what I suggested? Draw the lines have the minis move along them. If they are off the lines they fall, if the lines are close enough to straddle or step from one to another then allow it. Otherwise it is jump and balance checks. . .

I guess I don't see the difficulty with this situation whatsoever, in terms of rules that is.

In retrospect, they're pretty much the same thing -- the second poster just did a better job of expressing the idea. That said, either way, the propsed solution isn't RAW -- it requires working outside of the RAW (excepting Rule 0), which is what I envision some players having issues with.

I wouldn't call that 'working outside the RAW'. If you have players that actually think that beams would need to be five feet wide or something because of the way the battlemat is done .. well, I have no answer for that except the application of violence. If they bitch about it, tell them that's why they have a GM instead of a Choose Your Adventure book.
