Update to the Rules:
I have decided to make two minor rule changes to the way I run games based on recent conversation and observation:
1) Crits - instead of automatically doubling dice I have decided to allow rolling of the additional dice per phb rules. However, if the crit is missed by the originally pc and I, as DM, catch it, i will roll the dice. If neither of us catch it and then next round progresses then the crit will subsequently be ignored and not retconned.
2) Grid movement: I have always been partial to the diagonal movement variant of 5'-10'-5'-10'...however I have decided that in the interest of simplicity that I am now going to employ the simple rule of every square in any direction is 5'...while this becomes inaccurate at greater distances diagonally...I just don't care so much anymore since it applies to both sides of the table equally both good and bad.
I have updated my little rules doc to reflect these changes.
Thank you and good day!
