[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 5521468, member: 65726"] The system provides other solutions too. You pop a utility power like Mighty Sprint to get over the gap. Then you proceed with your charge. Or you double move and spend an action point. Or you run as your first move action, and take a -5 penalty to your attack. What you're trying to do is not impossible. It's easy even. And the rules are provided. Sure you may choose to ignore them because they are not simulationist, or doesn't fit your vision of what an adventurer should be able to do. A non simulationist system like D&D is pretty much "ridiculous" in many aspects, it's simply meant to be a conflict resolution system. We use the rule frame to dictate a portion of the game. For some of us that portion is larger, for some it's smaller. I'm sure it's hard to find someone who hasn't ignored or ruled against RAW in the heat of running a combat encounter. We all do it, which KarinsDad actually implied should be done to an extent in an earlier post, and the 3 degrees of ruling. And yeah, I'm agreeing with KarinsDad, this thread will be the end of the internet. [/QUOTE]
