And of course whenever you describe a road going directly anywhere you are of course describing a road that runs in a perfect line... right?

Even if goes without any curves left or right, it is still curved because the earth's surface is curved...

You couldnt also charge if the floor was not a perfect plain as well correct? If there is any irregularity that would make the charge not straight.

I know the explanation of charge is ambiguous and there is room for enterpritation I started this conversation after one of my players tried a charge like this which i disallowed and he got upset.
pxx
1xx
x2x
xx3
xx4
xx5
xo6
xxe
p= player
o= pillar in the way
e= enemy
I disallowed it on the grounds that the piller was in the nearest square to his starting position

But it is not nearer than square 6... both are 6 squares away. If there was an empty square to the right of square 6, that square would also be 6 squares away, and would not be any farther or nearer than either square 6 or the pillar.

if you measure the distance from any of the corners to the coresponding corner of the squares you are refeing to i guarantee that the distance will be diferent.. I'm going with longer..

But 4e does not measure distances in inches, millimeters, or any other method of measuring normal distance, it uses squares.

Not according to the rules.
