Default Re: Entering A Hex With A Body

As a fighter in my viking martial arts training, were there a body on the ground I would always step around it, full stop. Folks fill a surprising amount of space, and the danger of tripping and bad footing is sky-high, and footwork is everything in fighting. It's power, it's defenses, it's pacing.

In short: for fast play, drop two hexes of "dead guy" on the ground and say it's now a terrain hazard and you can't go there.

If you have no choice but to go there, invoke a roll, but my experience with terrain obstacles in both unarmed and armed martial arts is, by and large, "just don't go there."
