[QUOTE="Nytmare, post: 4881432, member: 55178"] I think that if you're switching over to a hex grid to try to more realistically represent a square grid, you should question your motivations. (plus, the 10' wide corridor you were hoping to find wouldn't be represented by either of the halways you were drawing because the first was too narrow and the second too wide) What I meant by ignoring the grid is that the world doesn't have to conform to a bunch of imaginary lines and angles, and I'm all for turning a blind eye to the fact that they exist while I'm designing things. [IMG]http://www.pmw.org/nytmare/dnd/images/IHateStayingBetweenTheLines.jpg[/IMG] Two different widths of "ten" foot wide corridors that can be held by two characters, and that aren't completely shut down by one. Regardless of that however, the walls are as far apart as they are, and they can be blocked or kept clear by as many or as few things have to stand on them as the rules for that particular grid allow. It's what this map is saying happens, and it doesn't matter if it conforms to what happens on a square grid any more than if what happens on a square grid conforms to what we see in real life. Sage unfortunately stole most of the better sound bites I usually throw out when we get into "realistic" grid discussions. Just imagine that I said all the things he said that made sense. [/QUOTE]
