View Full Version : Request of Reach Area for Hexagonal grids

In the 5e ruleset, I see that the features of token selection (*) and reach aren't working at all for hexagonal grids.

Now, that option is covered in the core Dungeon Master Guide (for instance in pages 249, 251 and 252).

Would it be possible to update the 5e ruleset for making these features work while using hex maps?

Maybe it can be somewhat disabled in "options" for people using hexes for overland maps (there reach would be meaningless, I guess). Thanks.

(*) Showing the color for the NPC disposition: yellow for neutral, green for friendly and red for hostile.

Yes, that's as expected.

The current rendering engine does not handle filled shapes other than rectangles very well. I'm hoping to revisit this item some time after we move to Unity since we'll be on a new rendering engine.

Thank you Moon Wizard for having this in consideration.
