[QUOTE="Moff_Tarkin, post: 3251237, member: 14175"] The rules for movement in combat are simple enough to me, but let me make sure I got it right. If the only movement is a 5ft. step you don’t get attacked for moving, and if all you do is move then the 5 ft. square you start from is not threatened. Well our DM sees it as this. If all you do for the entire round is take a 5 ft. step then you don’t provoke an attack. If you take a more then a 5 foot step or any other action after the 5ft step you provoke an attack of opportunity. So there is no withdraw and archers/casters cant move back 5 feet to cast/shoot without and AoO. Now we play with a LOT of house rules. Which doesn’t bother me. I accept the DMs right to change anything he wants, I would even accept if he wanted to house rule the movement rules to what he is using. The reason I must speak up is because he claims his movement rules are by the book. When someone bought it up he said that he has had to look them up multiple times and refuses to look it up again. I hope that we can convince him he is doing things wrong so that he will either do it right or make his rules an official house rule and not claim them to be by the book. So maybe if I get enough replies from people I can direct him to this post. If one or two people say your wrong then it’s easy to dismiss. But when 50 say your wrong it becomes harder to ignore.
