Message: <blockquote data-quote="JerryLove" data-source="post: 296477" data-attributes="member: 3511">The problem is of course that reality != movies != DnD. That said.Aragorn is standing in an open space, primarily between a foe, and people he's guarding. The foe cannot be reached with his weapon without a movement (10' away). They cannot get around him because movement is simultanious. To get around Aragorn, the write must move alone around him, that allows him to intercept. Kind of a moving "attack of opportunity".The wraiths don't want to move in, because whomever moves in first gets attacked, and they want advantage; Aragorn doesn't want to move in, because he can only engage 1-2, and the rest will flank him.So everyone moves in 5-foot steps, everyone other wise delayin to attack the first opponent in range, and no one wanting to be the first to close range (the wraiths don't want to be attacked, aragorn doesn't want to be surrounded).Occasionaly, that breaks, aragron engages, and somebody ends up burning. That enegagement moves Aragoen from his position defending Frodo (as he moves to avoid being flanked) allowing a Wraith to sneak closer without incurring an attack of opportunity from Aragorn.In short, the real problem is the simultanious aspect of actual moving / fighting, which makes position more important than in DnD.</blockquote>
