[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 4114187, member: 11"] I would much rather design places based on what their in-game actual use is than some sort of general combat optimization. Plus, I like when characters are forced to think creatively to get around the circumstances of the combat environment, whether it be climbing, jumping, bullrushing, grappling and moving your foe, easily blocking off egress with spells, furniture or bodies, etc. . . Oh, and despite "the rules", I will let two (or more) characters be in the same space (with penalties). I would think that with 4E's emphasis on moving and moving opponents around that narrow confines would be even less of problem. . . Cramped up in a small room with one narrow way out? Push your way out into some place with more elbow room, use your powers to help define the combat space - take advantage of the idea that "encounter areas" are going to be over several rooms now, etc. . .
