[QUOTE="Orcus Porkus, post: 4527652, member: 76022"] I'm sorry, but I'm a little confused now. Can someone post an interpretation that summarizes the issue of "direct" movement? I need something to present to the DM... My interpretation right now is: Directly means, you need to take the shortest available route, measured in number of squares. Thus it's possible to charge in a curve, since diagonal movement counts as one square. [code]..E... ...o.. ....o. .EEE.o ....o. ...o.. ..F... .2... .2... .2... .2... ..o.. .o... ..o.. .o... ...o. .o... ...o. .o... ...o. ..o.. ....o .o... ...o. ...o. ....o ..o.. ...o. ....o ....o ...o. ....1 ....1 ....1 ....1 [/code]Movement during a charge that would require a step away from the target or in a 90 degree angle, for example because of obstacles or enemies in the way, is not allowed: [code]....... ...E... ....o.. .....o. ..EEE[COLOR=Red]x[/COLOR]. ...F[COLOR=Red]x[/COLOR].. [/code]In the above example the direct path would have on square less. The character can either try to jump over the enemy, or shift/move before the charge: [code]....... ...E... ....o.. .....o. ..EEEo. ...Fs.. [/code]It's allowed to spend a move action before the charge takes place, but not after. [/QUOTE]
