[QUOTE="Bob Mackenzie, post: 510717, member: 8799"] Ladies & Gents Played a skirmish "pick up" game on Friday using the 3E rules. This provoked a whole bunch of questions. Ive looked in the PHB but no answers present themselves, can anyone help? How much time does it take to open a non-locked door - in a 6 second round the amount of time is probably significant - we ruled it was a move equivalent action but that seems a little harsh? Similarly how much time does it take to crawl through an open window or over a 4' tall wall/hedge? Again we ruled it was a move equivalent action. There seem to be no rules for slopes affecting moves How far can a character climb a ladder? Should be faster than a rogue climbing a wall It appears you can move through a space occupied by a friend without penalty. This means you can charge through such a space? Given the need for an unimpeded straight run for a charge I find this a little odd. Even more odd is that I think I can charge/move through by friend in COMBAT and initialte a bull rush on the enemy they are fighting - I'm moving through my friend's square and ending up in the enemy's square, oddly unharmed by my friend's whirling weapon Am I reading the rules correctly? If so I'd probably rule as the DM the there were no charges through friedly occupied squares and thet there is non movement at all allowed though a friend in combat except with tumble. Comments?
