How to avoid killing your player characters as GM

[QUOTE=Ulzgoroth;2498081 then you suddenly started reading it as being about whether you could turn both before and after the movement instead, [/QUOTE]

You have misread me. I was countering Anthony's choice to read "freely" as not only language with a technical meaning but the technical meaning that supported his interpretation. I offered different language that could be read as supporting my position as an example of possible overinterpretation..

As a general rule I do not believe that every word in a passage should be squeezed like a wine grape to get any possible rules information out of it. If the rules want to make something clear they will say so directly rather than leave it tot he reader to discover any and every possible hidden implication.

So there are two places where the rules make "_any_facing" clear and explicit. In cases were they do not do so I read "facing change" to be one hexside by default.
