[QUOTE="Simon Collins, post: 2013448, member: 9860"] Grompi "When scrutinized, the diagrams in the beginning have a blatant error, showing movement contrary to that in the text." Far as I could tell the movement seems OK, there are just incorrect references in the text as to which diagram the movement is shown in for the multi-character combat. I do agree that this bad referencing isn't too good for the beginning DM and they should definitely have referenced it more clearly with more maps showing Round 1a, 1b, 1c, etc, but a little time sitting down with it got me straight in the end.
