Ranged Combat Engagement #13154
Ranged Combat Engagement #13154
I don't think this changed while I was away, so ranged combat shouldn't be enough to keep you from leaving a room, right? In the log you'll see that I was never at melee range, that they only attacked me with ranged and actually failed to close to melee, but I couldn't leave until I broke out of the combat engagement.
You overhear the following rumor:
"I saw one of those Shadgard folk come barging into Grif's and shoot one of the patrons on the spot. Shadgard must be a pretty rough place with such outlaws running rampant."

Re: Ranged Combat Engagement #13154
Keep in mind that they can cast from melee range. If they ever clawed at you, or you hit them, they could be able to keep you from leaving

I edited that line out of the log, but I had just walked into the room and was never at melee.

Re: Ranged Combat Engagement #13154
Sorry, you did say that and I think I just glanced over it. Yeah not sure why you couldn't leave the room.

Re: Ranged Combat Engagement #13154
With the way the combat system is presently implemented, if you take any kind of hostile damage, you will need to pass the "break-away" check before moving, regardless of your combat position, until the "under attack" effect wears off (Typically 6 seconds). It's not presently a matter of position at all. I think this misunderstanding comes from the fact that successfully switching to position avoid while under attack clears the effect.
I wouldn't be completely opposed to rewriting it so combat position plays a more important role and give people who's combatpos is 'ranged' a significant advantage in fleeing. But it's just not how it presently works. Certainly something to consider, though there's a lot of different scenarios to consider that would be drastically changed by allowing people (both PCs and critters) in ranged to simply walk away even if they're technically under attack.
