[phiwum]

Finally got to play the minor dragonet fight that I had been planning and an issue came up.

The party leader knew Tactics, so the dragonets kept losing initiative. Finally, I sent all three dragonets (it was a minor skirmish) in against the wizard. I figure the stacking limit is one, but I put one on top of her and two on empty adjacent spaces, engaging her. This meant that should could not shift out from under the dragonet who engaged her from her hex.

But this raises a question. A dragonet cannot attack from an adjacent hex. Can it nonetheless engage?

I think so. I think that a foot long mini dragonish thing can put up enough of a fuss that it impedes movement, locking the wizard in place, but I also think it's not obvious that a creature who cannot attack can engage. (Unlike the usual examples, the dragonets really do have attacks, but they can't attack the hex the character is actually in.)

Any thoughts?
