[QUOTE="Dorian_Grey, post: 6961001, member: 6801878"] To answer your restated question: you can't. Everyone has provided great suggestions and you've shot them down. The latest one made it clear to what you really want: 1. PCs encounter monsters 2. Monsters are 200 away 3. They stare at each other over a flat featureless plain 4. Both sides decide to close. You want, at the end of the day to describe two sides closing over distance. In a game with ranged weapons or spells such a scenario is impossible and the only way to make it happen is to ban ranged attacks. What you want is to create scenarios that favor ranged attacks, and make the PCs go with melee attacks instead. Further this is a waste of time. If they are going to melee save five minutes and just start the monsters right next to the monsters. Why ban ranged attacks? Because even if you nerf ranged so that it will only do 1 pnt of damage the PCs are still better off inflicting 1 pnt of dmg then not. Sorry, but the only way to answer your scenarios and goal posts is to say ban ranged outright full stop. [/QUOTE]
