Topic: Basic Combat Questions?
I am new to LOTFP and have some questions...
Is combat always move, action or can combat be action, move or 1/2move, action, 1/2move?
Is there a mechanism for preventing movement past enemies?
Two orcs are trying to guard a 10 ft wide tunnel. What stops a party from just running past them. What about a 20 ft or a 30 ft wide tunnel? Limitations on movement through/past enemies space? Limitations on movement through allies' space?
Can use running or charging be used in combat at any time? ex. 5 ft charges, 10 ft charges?
When casting, Spell Casters are described as helpless. pg 57. “Casting a spell during combat is a very risky proposition because the caster leaves himself completely helpless and open to attack while doing so.”
But Spell Casters are not mentioned in the definition of helpless opponents. Pg 60 “Helpless opponents, defined as those sleeping, bound, magically frozen, etc are automatically hit for maximum damage by anyone attacking them with a mêlée weapon.” What is correct?
