    Is there a way to activate the combat grid (make it visible) to help me during combat? I'm having a hard time avoiding AoO's when I think I'm moving safely.

    Thanks in advance.

    There is no visible grid per se, but if you hold down the Alt key while you move your mouse in combat, it will show where your intended path will expose you to AoOs, and from whom. It also reflects changes in 'real time,' i.e., if you indicate an (even slightly) altered route with your mouse, the AoO data will update accordingly.

    You can also plot a course this way: holding down the Aly key, click multiple times in linear sequence where you want your PC to move along a certain path (within the bounds of his movement limitations), and he will follow that course. You then have to release the Aly key and click on the ultimate destination to commit the move. I find it to be a very effective aid in plotting a safe path.

    Sounds like that'll get the job done.

    Thanks a bunch!
