[QUOTE="mmu1, post: 27384, member: 319"] Simplest way of doing it that's worked well in every game I've been in is to ignore the issue :) It's a part of the rules and balanced as is, so changes are really only necessary if the logical inconsistency bothers you. Making changes is tricky, for a couple of reasons. A) As someone mentioned on some other thread, people might try to fireball the rogue to move him an extra 20' in an emergency and try other silly things like that. B) The whole "Do you have space to move out of the way?" issue. I have heard of DM's handling it this way, and it's ridiculous, because it completely screws over Rogues and Monks, who rely on Evasion. It's just one of those things like being able to swing a greataxe in a 5' corridor, or a halfling fighter with a dagger being a legitimate threat to a 30' giant in plate armor, being able to fight an earth elemental with a rapier, and so on, that don't make sense but are best left as is for the sake of the balance and enjoyment of a fantasy game.
