Game rules - DDM Guild

Touching Edges: The target does not have cover if the line runs along or touches the edge of a
wall or other square that would otherwise provide cover. If you’re uncertain, check with a taut
string.
Range for Ranged Attacks
Most ranged attacks can target enemies at any distance, provided the attacking creature has
line of sight. A few creatures have ranged attacks that can target only an enemy up to 6 squares
away.
MULTIPLE ATTACKS
Some creatures can make more than one melee attack or more than one ranged attack in a
round. Such creatures have a Melee Attack or Ranged Attack entry containing multiple attacks
separated by slash marks: +12/+12, for example.
No Movement: To attack more than once in a round, a creature can’t move any distance
at all.
Decide as You Go: You don’t have to decide on the targets of all attacks ahead of time. You
can wait to see the result of the first attack, then make the next attack against a different
creature if you wish. A creature can even make one attack and then move rather than attacking
again.
Choosing Which Attack to Use: A creature with multiple melee or ranged attacks doesn’t
have to use them in the order listed on its stat card. You can choose any order for the creature’s
attacks and their corresponding damage, but unless you specify otherwise before rolling the
attack, it’s assumed that you use the attacks in the order they’re listed on the card.
