Hello, I have a few questions

[Jack Dandy]

Hi there!
I got some questions:

1. How come charge attacks don't require a straight line to preform? I understand from the game manual that it's a requirement to move in a straight line..

2. What does the "Meleeing" hit modifier mean, how does it effect somebody, and where can you see it's details? Could never notice it in attack rolls.

3. Is it possible to transfer party and quest progression saves from earlier versions of the game to the newest one?

Thanks for any answers.

Hello Jack Dandy!

You're right about charge attacks. The concept of line is a bit different when the game world is a square grid. Lines become rasterised.
In the picture the path is a line. Two squares are always a line and three squares can easily be a line even if they don't look like one. Here, we have a three-square line if we include the initial position of the character.

Meleeing means a character is engaged in melee combat with another creature. If a character is adjacent to an enemy, he is considered to be meleeing. You get a penalty on ranged attacks towards that character.

Yes, all saves will work on all versions.

Thanks. And just to be sure:
Basically, would you say that as long as a character has a direct line of sight with another character, and has enough speed, it's considered he can "run in a straight line" at him?

No, he won't be able to do that if there's another character blocking the path or if he has to cross special squares like Entangle.
