[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 4051571, member: 59057"] Ok, you all should stop thinking a diagonal is 5ft. Nowhere it is stated that you move always 5ft. Your speed is listed in squares. It just means that because of certain "forces" you can more easily move diagonal. Thus you can make 7ft steps when moving in that way. But if you do, you have to jump and strafe left or right. And it is called bunny hopping and looks very funny. And come on, your turn is 6 seconds. Your movement distance is an arbitrary number of squares. You can´t accelerate just a bit and still attack. How weird is that? If your opponent is 7 squares away you do what? Move 6 feet. Wait for him to whack on you for 6 seconds and then strike back? And don´t argument: fireballs are squares now... it is just to prevent rule lawyers from moving diagonally all the time to avoid it. If you are just playing a game to have fun, use it as intended, use fireballs and have fun. For the minigame it is a different matter, but there the grid IS ACTUALLY FIXED before you setup your minis. So the disussion is somewhat redundant. And here firecubes and no cones make perfectly sense, because here it actually IS A COMPETITION where 1 square difference can mean win or loss. [/QUOTE]
