[Planescape] Squaring the Circle Redux - OOC (Full)

I use Excel. I modified the width and height settings for cells to make the grid and then use the draw function for everything else. Moving the characters around for each new round is very easy (I can just drag them to wherever I want), as is adding new elements.

Once I'm done, I take a screen capture of it and use a graphics program to crop and create an optimized .jpeg file. It makes for a very basic-looking map, but hey, it gets the job done! :)
 

Uhm... Ashy, if your intention is to flank, you should not move Burrow to Zoe's side... :D

F4 would be more appropriate... (Zoe would then move to H6 into flanking position).
Actually, since Zoe acts before Burrow, I'll just do that... step to H6. :)

In any case Burrow must move more than 5 ft. and so cannot full attack (just attack). ;)

Bye
Thanee

Uh, actually, if Burrow moved into F4, he still wouldn't flank with Zoe if she was in the H6 position... though he would flank with Donner. (If you draw a line from the center of H6 to F4, it doesn't pass through opposite borders of the creature's space, so those two squares don't flank each other.)

I don't think there's a single 5' step Zoe could take that would let her flank with someone, unless someone moves somewhere onto line 3.
 

Oh, yeah, we would only flank a square, but not the whole... well. :heh:

If Burrow moves to F4 we can at least flank next round. Didn't figure it in, anyways.


@Ferrix: Sorry, Align Weapon was swapped out in a last minute decision for Aid. ;)

Hurm... Looks like I need to play with excel a bit tonight.... :) How do you label the grid? (i.e. the x and y axis....)

Er...okay - so who is moving where? I'm confused...
