			==== Emanation [Area of Effect] ====
			An Emanation is an area of effect that extends in straight lines from a creature or an object in all directions. The effect that creates an Emanation specifies the distance it extends.

			An Emanation moves with the creature or object that is its origin unless it is an instantaneous or a stationary effect.

			An Emanation's origin (creature or object) isn't included in the area of effect unless its creator decides otherwise.

	When measuring range or moving diagonally on a grid, the first diagonal square counts as 5 feet, but the second diagonal square counts as 10 feet. This pattern of 5 feet and then 10 feet continues whenever you're counting diagonally, even if you move horizontally or vertically between different bits of diagonal movement.

This pattern of 5 feet and then 10 feet continues whenever you're counting diagonally, even if you move horizontally or vertically between different bits of diagonal movement.

			==== No pets/companions/summons ====
			Because 5E combat is terribly slow as it is, we won't use any extra combatants. If your character would be shortchanged (because you get a pet via a class feature, a summon spell via extra spells, etc.) you will be compensated.

	==== Initiative ====		==== Initiative ====
	Both sides roll just one d20 for initiative, adding the best modifier from among their group. The winning side then selects one of their characters to act first, then the other side selects one of their characters to act. This continues until one side has used all it's characters and then the remaining side uses its remaining characters. For the next round of combat Initiative is rolled again. This allows for more flexibility and tactics and prevents alpha striking.		Both sides roll just one d20 for initiative, adding the best modifier from among their group.
