Game rules - DDM Guild

push/pull: (Keyword) Certain spells or special abilities push other creatures away from or pull
them toward the acting creature. The pushed or pulled creature cannot move into or through
a space occupied by any other creature or statue, or through walls. Pushed or pulled
creatures do not provoke attacks of opportunity.
push: A creature pushed away from the acting creature must move into a square that is
farther from the acting creature.
pull: A creature pulled toward the acting creature must move into a square that is closer to
the acting creature.
Pushing or pulling a creature into difficult terrain requires 2 squares of movement (or 3
squares diagonally), so a 1-square push/pull effect can’t move most creatures into difficult
terrain. A creature with Flight, Incorporeal, or Stable Footing could be pushed/pulled into
difficult terrain, since it ignores the effects of terrain. Creatures with the Burrow ability are
slowed by difficult terrain, since they can’t use their Burrow ability while being pushed/pulled.
Moving Creatures: If a push/pull effect is used against a moving creature as part of an
attack of opportunity, the square the creature is pushed/pulled into does not count against its
movement for the turn.
Charging Creatures: If a push/pull effect manages to interrupt a creature’s charge, that
creature is no longer charging. It can still attack if it moves its Speed or less, but its charge
has been interrupted.
Pushback (When this creature’s melee attack deals damage to a smaller creature, it may push
the smaller creature 1 square)
radius 2: (Keyword) This spell or special ability affects all creatures within a 2-square radius.
Photocopy and cut out the radius 2 template to help position the effect. Place the target
creature inside the 4-square cutout center of the template. If the target occupies 1 square,
you can arrange the template any way you like around it, so long as it is inside the center
and the squares of the template align with those on the battle map. If the target is a Large
creature, position it completely inside the center of the template. If it is Huge, position the
template over any 4 squares of the creature’s space.
radius 4: (Keyword) This works like radius 2 (see above) but affects creatures within a
4-square radius.
rally: A routing creature attempts to rally when it activates if it’s under command. See Morale
beginning on page 21.
range 6: (Range) This effect targets the nearest enemy or ally within 6 squares and line of sight
of the acting creature.
Ranged Attack: (Creature Statistic) A creature’s ability to hit with a ranged attack.
See Statistics on page 5.
ranged attack: An attempt to damage an enemy with a ranged attack. See Ranged Attacks on
page 15.
Ranged Sneak Attack +[#]: This works just like Melee Sneak Attack (see that entry, on page
40, and replace “melee damage” with “ranged damage”), but the creature must be making
a ranged attack within 6 squares of the target, and the defender must be stunned, helpless,
or unable to see the acting creature.
Relay Orders (This creature gains the highest Commander rating and each Commander
Effect of creatures that have it under command) While under command, it is considered to be
a commander.
remove: (Keyword) To negate, suppress, or cancel one or more existing effects on a creature,
magic item, or area. Unless otherwise noted, removal is permanent.
Rend +[#] (If this creature hits 1 enemy with both melee attacks on the same turn, damage +[#]
to second attack)
replace/replaces: Some special abilities have “replaces” as a special cost, such as “replaces
attacks” or “replaces move.” When it uses the ability, the creature is considered to have
taken the specified action.
