[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8029323, member: 2629"] The rules say you can't move trough an enemy creature's space. The yellow line cuts along the corner of a square occupied by an enemy creature. This really asks whether creatures occupy the grid lines around themselves. While the rules are not specific to how we treat this, they are specific about corners for terrain blocking: You could think about this two ways: 1.) As the rule applies for non-creatures, it sets a precedent that should apply to creatures, or 2.) They had an opportunity to specify hostile creatures here and decided not to do so. Note that if your answer is that you can't pass along that diagonal, then 4 enemies surrounding a PC in the cardinal directions would lock that PC down and prevent any movement, while 4 enemies standing at the diagonals would not do so. I do not believe that to be desirable. C = Character, E = Empty, O = Opponent Trapped! EOE OCO EOE Free to flee! OEO ECE OEO I would allow the movement along the diagonal corner. [/QUOTE]
