There are situations in which distances and positions are supposed to play
|
|
an important role: what if there's a sniper atop a tower? What if a
|
|
terrible ritual tears open a chasm in the middle of the battlefield?
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The advice boils down to the following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Don't overcomplicate things. Play to this game's strengths, and avoid
|
|
situations in which suspension of disbelief becomes too strained.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Sometimes, experiment. If you want to introduce distance as an important
|
|
element in the game, treat it as a "puzzle" that can be solved in
|
|
creative ways while the conflict progresses. For instance, you might
|
|
make melee attacks useless in a battle between two flying galleons — at
|
|
that point, engaging in close combat would require approaching and
|
|
boarding the enemy ship... time for a Clock!
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the end, the most important thing to remember is that conflicts
|
|
shouldn't be resolved through careful movement and positioning, but
|
|
through clever use of the character's Skills and actions.
