Re: Join Dragonrealms today!

Strange. Let's try a different scenario:

Step 1: A1 enters a room, sees B1, and attacks him.

Step 2: A2 arrives and decides to join in, attacking B1 as well.

Step 3: B2 arrives, and decides to even the odds - he attacks A1.

At this point A1 and A2 are both attacking B1, while B1 and B2 are both attacking A1.

Presumably A1 could choose to switch his melee attacks to hit B2, as B2 is already hitting him with a melee weapon. But what happens if A2 decides to switch his attacks to B2, to take the pressure off his ally? Are you saying that if A2 switched to attack B2, he'd then suddenly be at missile range?

It would make more sense to calculate relative proximity - if A2 was in melee range of B1, who was in melee range of A1, who was in melee range of B2, then it stands to reason that A2 would be in melee range (or at the very least polearm range) of B2.
