Variant Distance rules

[EnragedLlama]

I noticed in FG there is a field for Variant distance rules and im trying to understand how they work. it seems it messes with diagnals a bit but it seems like every 2nd diagnal is 10' vs 5? is there anyway to just set every diagnal to 10 instead of 5? I also cant seem to find the variant rules in the DMG for distance.

The variant rules in the DMG itself state that first, third, etc diagonal's are 5ft and second, fourth, etc diagonals are 10ft. So that's what FG does. It actually simulated the actual 7.4ft diagonal distance pretty well. If you wanted all diagonals to be 10ft then you would have to write an extension.

The rule is in a sidebar to "Areas of Effect"

I see, is there any known extension that currently does that?

Not that I have heard of.
