Re: move through

[Wright Frazier <khelek@ns1.cioe.com>]

My personal opinion is this:
you can move 1/4 of your movement per die you make and then get 1
attack.  i.e. you make a 4die check, you can move your full
move and get 1 attack.  Blow it and get a to only move up the
proscribed distance you were going too.  

re:casting while moving.  bad idea....don't like it, and it should
	take a rank 12 spell to do it.
