Question Regarding Zoning/In Melee Reach
Myself and another player in the 2d20 campaign we are playing in have been a bit confused by how the zoning works effectively.
As we have interpreted the rules (and have been able to find) you are able to freely move within the zone you are in w/o using a move minor action. If that is the case, when would the "within reach of melee" debuff really take effect if they can move freely in the zone but out of melee reach (assuming the zone is large enough).
Cause on an Npc turn, they could simply back out of reach within the zone and shoot without any form of opportunity attack and as such negate the effect of that.
It may also simply be due to the maps our DM uses/how the zones are laid out.
The question is, have we been misinterpreting the rules (free movement within your current zone) or are otherwise missing something. If we have been, a page number to cite would be greatly appreciated.
Happy fourth of July for those who celebrate and a great day to those who don't.
