What does "diagonal movement" have to do with anything? From my point of view, it just means he travelled an EXTRA square. The book still says his base movement is 6. Since he didn't use any special abilites (Nor does he have any ability that lets him do so.), he travelled far faster then he should be able to.
Unless there is some unspoken GM rule you never told me.
He used two move actions, the second he got by exchanging a standard action, to move 12 spaces.
Or it should have been. I just overlayed the images in paint to double check, and I count 11 spaces of distance. Which is weird. Especially since I meant to move him 12. In fact, the original plan was to move him 12 over to you, use his elite action to gain an extra standard action for the turn, then tear out your eyeballs and deliver a stern lecture to the empty sockets.
It's the name of the attack. I wouldn't
actually have him tear out your eyes.
Anyhow, I didn't because I counted twelve up to the space where he sat now. Which I won't bother taking back, because there isn't going to be much difference either way.
>CR: Keep hiding until the mysterious person passes.
[6,8+10]=24 if you needed another roll.
You remain stealthy as the individual withdraws from the room and steps into the return node.
Wait. He's in your house now.
Crud.
Actually, he could have gotten real close to you right there.
The first blue line is his first move action, 6 spaces. Then he traded his standard action for another move action (we can do that too), for another 6 spaces. Of course, then he wouldn't be able to kill you because no standard action.
Diagonal movement = from the space with the 1 in it to the space one down and one left is 1 movement.
Basically that, except I miscounted.
