I would look it up in my PHB, but I don't have access to it right now. (I'm in the Army and currently away from home for a few weeks...)Ok, so from what I understand about reach weapons in 5e from what I've heard from other people, is that there is no restriction or penalty (lance aside...) for attacking people within 5 feet. So can you attack foes that are both 5 and 10 feet away equally?Also, has there been any clarification on if you can attack diagonally 2 squares with a reach weapon? Some versions strictly enforce the idea that since 2 diagonals = 15 feet you can't reach them. I know that at least one version had an exception rule for reach weapons to allow it.Lastly, the brief chance I did get to look into my PHB I couldn't find any clarification on diagonal movement. All I recall is something briefly saying that each square would count as one movement for the sake of simplicity. Will this be built upon in the DMG?Once again, sorry for the stupid questions, but the government computer I'm on limits what I can research, lol...</blockquote>
