[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4938794, member: 710"] It might be hard to create the full tactical precision of D&D 4 combat in real time games. But it would certainly be possible to create the game in a way to just excise all the highly precision stuff and instead focus more on the general rules layout. The "math" works, wether everyone can choose between pushing an opponent 3 squares diagonallly or just 1 square straight this turn. If terrain is an issue it wouldn't be that hard to create certain "triggers" that make a Thunderwave push an enemy in the firepit if it fits from movement and just do the standard full [WIS] squares if nothing exciting is going on. There might be even visual cues indicating it when you select the area you want to thunderwave, like outlining creatures and special terrain caught in the effect. It is okay if a real time game loses a little control in exchange for a more fast paced game. It's not what I prefer, I would love a ToEE like turn-based version. But it's not an absolut must to gain benefits of D&D IP or even the general rules layout. [/QUOTE]
