[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 4988042, member: 957"] There may have been some confusion regarding grids. I have no idea. My 3E PH says "1 inch on the tabletop equates to 5 feet". It makes no reference to grids so there is no "diagonal" to discuss. 1 inch equals 5 feet in all 360 degrees. If there was some brief confusion about how to best apply the rule to a square grid, that would not change that a mini on the board should not go farther just because he is moving 45 degrees off. Two identical characters start moving on a gridless board in any two directions. They both move 30 feet. At the end of their move they both move 6 inches by 3.0 raw. If you then go back and overlay a 1 inch grid on them, such that at least one of them turned out to have moved diagonally, you will find that mini moved across the diagonals of four 1 inch squares. What there absolutely was NOT in 3.0 was anything to suggest that one of these characters would move further along the table than another. [/QUOTE]
