[QUOTE="MrGrenadine, post: 4106173, member: 62619"] [b]Why not hexes?[/b] After reading this and a few other threads on the 1-1-1-1 debate, my only question is: Why not hexes? With hexes, you can use 1-1-1-1 with no problem, and can have organically shaped effects, (i.e., no firecube spells). The downsides, as far as I can see them: [list]You can only surround a hex with 6 medium-sized figures, as opposed to 8 when using a grid. (I rarely play with a group larger than six, so its not really an issue, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe DMs might not like their kobold swarms getting only +6 to hit, instead of +8?)[/list] [list]The half-hex issue, (or 1/4 hex, or less), when creating a space bounded by flat walls or other barriers. But I guess I would just rule that if there's a half a hex or more, you can stand there, and if there's less, you can't.[/list] I get the feeling I'm missing a bigger issue or two, though...
