| - | Combat scenarios are distinguished by the use of a battle map illustrating the terrain layout and position of [[entity|entities]]. Maps are divided into [[section|sections]], which are most easily described as delimited regions enclosed by borders. These borders can be "hard," such as a solid wall, or "soft" conceptual borders that divide a larger area into discrete parts. | + | Combat scenarios are distinguished by the use of a battle map illustrating the terrain layout and position of [[entity|entities]].

| Sections denote positioning. Each entity is located in one section on the map, often referred to as the "occupied section" for that entity. Particularly large entities may, at the DM's discretion, occupy multiple sections at a time. | Sections denote positioning.

| Movement between sections is defined with a number denoting the number of soft section borders that can be crossed. For instance, an ability that grants a [[Move|Move]] 3 allows you to cross three soft section borders. Unless otherwise specified, every entity has the innate ability to Move 1 during their turn. | Movement between sections is defined with a number denoting the number of soft section borders that can be crossed.

| - | You are permitted to Move once any time on your turn //after// drawing a card but //before// discarding a card. Moving does not cost any phase of your turn. You may be granted additional Moves as an effect from other cards played by you or other entities; these additional Moves do not count against your one Move per turn. | + | You are permitted to Move on your turn during either the Strategy Phase or the Action Phase. You may Move before playing any Strategy, so long as you have completed all elements of the Start of Turn, and you may Move after playing any Action, so long as you have not yet begun to resolve any End of Turn elements.

| Some sections may be filled with sufficient water that entities must swim if they occupy that section. An entity that is swimming has dice levels reduced by 1 on all Hit, Miss, and Damage dice when using weapons, armor, and shields (this stacks with similar conditions such as [[Player's Guide Appendix A|Debilitated]]). Any Move that grants more than one section of movement is reduced by 1 for each section entered that requires swimming.
