[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 7639884, member: 205"] I....didn't say it was simple? I just said that some of my players understand that the ability to move has a net-positive value, and so if they don't have to move they want to try to extract some value from an otherwise unused resource. I understand and agree with your premise, but I also can't fault their psychology in trying to get as much as use out of their turn as possible, since that's the very heart of good combat play in every version of D&D. I do quibble with the point that "liberal use of move means dynamic exciting cinematic battles". The best way for that to happen is for the encounter to have a sense of place, with each area of the encounter having obvious tactical advantages and disadvantages. Then the liberal use of move allows the battle to mutate as those advantages and disadvantages become part of the encounter. Movement doesn't do much in battle in a 30' by 30' locked room with 4 orcs. [/QUOTE]
