On moving through cramped spaces


Rules Questions


Now let's say the group is forced to move through a confined or cramped space (smaller than 5 feet), where would I find the rules on handling that? There's a chance they'll be fighting in some caves where there'll be areas where they can move through a cramped area which is better suited for the goblins living there.


I'd check under the skill "Escape Artist" that should give you an idea of the DC's and the modifiers. It's kind vague as far as the actual modifier, but im sure you can get creative with the difficulty.

Keep in mind: larger creatures, Equipment going through, etc.

Your cave Fighting Scenario sounds interesting. Bottle neck ambushes and things like that, always a good time.

Check the combat section under Terrain and Obstacles. Specifically the "squeezing" subheading. That should be what you're looking for.

Here's a link


There is also a section on "Squeezing" that you might look at it should give you some ideas as well.


Thanks :)
