[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 8507581, member: 67296"] Ultimately it's mostly a question of whether you want to introduce retreat as a valid combat option or not. As for range, I'd tend to adjudicate based on the terrain, and give chase benefits to feats or features that increase accuracy and range. Otherwise in most combat situation, I's a good assumption that someone could lose line-of-sight after 100 feet. What I want to avoid is a situation where "creature A dashes for 60 feet, creating an attack of opportunity from creature B. Then creature B moves within 5 feet of creature A. Next round, creature A dashes for 60 feet, creating an attack of opportunity from creature B. Then creature B moves within 5 feet of creature A, etc" giving creature B an infinite number of attacks of opportunity against creature A who cannot ever get out of reach short of having a greater speed. or "creature A dashes for 60 feet. Then creature B moves 30 feet closer, reducing the gap to 30 feet, and makes a (full round worth of) ranged attack/spell. Next round, creature A dashes another 60 feet Then creature B moves 30 feet closer, reducing the gap to 60 feet, and makes a (full round worth of) ranged attack/spell, etc" giving creature B anywhere from 10 to 20 rounds worth of attacks before creature A is out of range.
