But it's a game, not a simulation. And a game where there is no line-of-sight rule and arrows move around walls is obviously not too concerned about real physics.

That's right. And by that acknowledgement, the Wizard is STILL the closest hero because it's actually only TWO squares away.

Every monster tactic that moves the monster without attacking tells you to move the monster one or more tiles. It's heavily implied that the number of tiles is the speed of the monster.

Implied doesn't mean truth. Monsters are explicitly NOT given a speed. They are given TACTICS. Unfortunately, many of those tactics can be open to interpretation to many people. And it's very interesting to see what sorts of interpretations are offered. Thanks goodness for the "Active Player Decides" (un)rule.

That's fine. Just be aware that your interpretation goes against the general consensus.

Is it? You've polled everyone on this issue have you?
