-====== Movement ======
+====== Measurement ======
-===== Diagonal =====
+This page concerns measuring distances on a dungeon map or battle mat.
-When the DM is tracking party movement, diagonal movement will be counted as 1" for every odd "square" of diagonal movement, and 2" for every even "square" of diagonal movement. So, one square of diagonal movement is 1", two squares is 3", three is 4", four is 6", and so on.
+===== Diagonal grid =====
+This rule applies when distances are being measured on a square grid, whether for creature movement, missile ranges, or when the DM is tracking party movement through a dungeon.
+Diagonal movement will be counted as 1" for every odd "square" of diagonal movement, and 2" for every even "square" of diagonal movement. So, one square of diagonal movement is 1", two squares is 3", three is 4", four is 6", and so on.
 If movement consists of a mix of cardinal and diagonal movement, only diagonal movement should be considered when determining whether a "square" of movement costs 1" or 2".
