[QUOTE="DarkLord Of DForce, post: 5115887, member: 85416"] Thank you, that pretty well sums up what happened. A player went to manuever around the Wizard and the DM said he gets an OA and was using MM. I asked at this point how he was doing that since MM is ranged. The DM said it was marked on the Stat card for a Basic attack, therefore he could use MM for that. This is where the ->honest<- mistake was made - the DM mistook the Ranged Basic Attack symbol for the Melee Basic Attack symbol. Please note that we did not stop the game, a "running" discussion on it took place over maybe 3-4 mins while the game progressed. The player decided not to make that move in the end. After the session, in our e-mail list it was discussed and I politely asked if I could see the stat card for that Wizard. The DM just gave me the name and I looked it up. I, and a couple of others (again politely) pointed out that the symbol interpretation was erroneous. Problem solved, and it shouldn't happen again in the future, hopefully. :) When I posted the message, I was just trying to get verification on whether we (the players) were right or not. Oh BTW, as far as a few rule changes for the monsters go, the DM added this little jewel to the Wizards (remember, there were 6 of them!!!) Magic Missle - it also pushed the hit target back 4 squares. Our SwordMage was actually out of most of the fight because he kept getting jammed back into a corner. He finally used some of his teleport powers to get back in the fray. He wasn't too amused....but it was funny for the rest of us. :) [/QUOTE]
