[QUOTE="Psikerlord#, post: 6867365, member: 93321"] I read this thread title and thought - I've got some rules for that! And you had already found them! LOL. Glad someone at least has seen that chase post for DnD hackers guild. I think your variant rules would work well. I especially like your cross paths, convoluted terrain and twist options - I might steal those if you dont mind, haha! I suspect the reckless sprint option might be a bit strong, but I guess it depends on starting distances, and there is a lot of variability in the chase checks and events. I am not sure if the incentive to go first in initiative is worth DC bidding war? I am not familiar with that kind of bidding mechanic. Anecdotally, I've run I think six of these chases using these kinds of rules, using the improvised table and so on, and they've been good fun.

The beastmen ended up caught in poisonous scrub, fighting each other, and the adventurers escaped (they opened the gap sufficiently to escape). Incidentally, we've found easily improvised chases work excellent with a formal "party wide retreat" rule. [/QUOTE]
