[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 4055430, member: 2268"] Erm...no? A base that is (if you want to argue in squares) 3 squares wide across the orthogonal is 2 squares wide across the diagonal. You did describe this quite nicely in your first sentence (15 feet being the diagonal distance across two squares). Why you go and try to contradict that in your second sentence is a bit beyond me, though. By any 3.5 metric, the width of a Huge creature is 15 feet...meaning 3 squares when orthogonal, or 2 squares when diagonal to the grid. That's the nice part about the whole 1-2-1 deal...it doesn't diverge THAT much from how it should be, and hence is descriptive, not formative. If a mini fits, in its width, into the straight part of the corridor 3 squares wide, it will fit into the diagonal part as well. [/QUOTE]
