Hi everyone, I'm new to pathfinder, after having played 3.5 for years. I've played a few games at cons before,which I really enjoyed, but a recent rules dispute has tainted my growing enthusiasm. We were nearing the end of a PFS module when it started. We used some unorthodox tactics and made some mistakes, so the fm decided one of the two bbegs would run, thus threatening two of the players faction quests. To catch up the players wanted to run down a twisting hallway using the run action. I said that you can only run in a straight line, and they said I was wrong. I insisted, they insisted. I asked them to look it up, both of them did and maintained that they were right, after reading it, claiming "it's not 3.5". The fm did not make a ruling. Defeated, I conceded, and the players ran across and all over the map, around corners at 120ft per turn to attempt to overtake the fleeing baddy and claim the faction objective. I refused to run around obstacles and instead opted for double moves. After the game I had forgotten my canteen, and had to return to the table to get it. Several players were lingering and I overheard them putting me down for confusing the game with 3.5. When I got home I looked it up in the red doc, and it said I was RIGHT! Am I crazy, or was everyone at the table blowing smoke up my butt? If you can sprint and make 90+ degree turns Wille-nillie, that seems like an unrealistic mechanics flaw.
