[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 4043471, member: 3146"] Actually, if the minis rules are any indication, he's not even doing that. The minis rules make charging an attack action that lets you move up to your speed and make an attack. Nothing prevents you from moving and then charging. Thus, even on the diagonal grid provided, the monster could move six squares down vertically and then charge for six squares horizontally and attack the wizard--avoiding a second fighter who happened to be in the way in exactly the method that he avoided the first fighter in the previous example. In fact, even if the fighter is basing the monster, he can probably still charge the wizard without drawing an opportunity attack. Shift as a move action so the fighter is no longer basing him and then charge the wizard using diagonal movement as shown in the previous examples to avoid the fighter. Now I don't think he can do that if the wizard is six squares away and the fighter is basing him on the direct vertical axis between him and the wizard, but if the wizard is only five squares away or the fighter is basing him from the side or on a diagonal, he's all good to shift then charge the wizard. If the minis rules are any indication. [/QUOTE]
