[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9609235, member: 6877472"] It's not just pursuit though. Rules for how far you can move before you must turn and the like really make it hard to use flying monsters, for example. I remember in 3e, where (going off memory), it was very hard to hover, and staying in the air required you to be able to move. This left a lot of encounters with multi-attacking flying monsters feel more like a Benny Hill skit (cue Yakety Sax). But you can run into these problems in underwater combat as well, where anything with a swim speed is basically flying. Keeping track of where a person is in relation to you in 3D space can be a hassle as well. Especially when there aren't rules for what happens if a flying creature falls on someone, lol! I think some VTT's have 3D support though, so maybe this will be less of a problem in the future for people who aren't dinosaurs like me, who believe that face-to-face gaming is the only real way to game.
