[QUOTE="Reaper Steve, post: 4044274, member: 51528"] This. This right here is what I just can't swallow. In my OP, I thought my concern was 'they're making it too easy, at an awful expense.' If you are playing D&D, being expected to count 1-2-1-2 or 1.5,3,4.5,6 really isn't a high expectation or too much to ask. My argument focused on the 'no, it really not that difficult aspect', but this picture shows my real concern. Movement like this will be absurd. Beyond my ability to handwave, abstract, or accept. Funny, though, that I don't really mind the firecubes. That to me is a small sacrifice that immensely aids play. But movement like in ainatan's pic will have gone too far, no matter how easy it is. Well, I love everything else we know of 4E. This is my first real concern. I hope that diagonal movement isn't 1:1. If it is, I hope they reconsider. If its too late, I hope there's more to the rules that prevents abuse. If that's not the case, I'll give it a shot. I don't like making houserules, especially those that alter fundamental assumptions. But I won't be able to stomach movement to contact as shown in this pic. [/QUOTE]
