Proposal: Intentity

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

In Rule 2.2, replace “A Square is considered Blocked if it is not inside the bounds of the Arena, it contains a Gladiator, or it contains anything the rules declare to be a Large Object.” with:-

A Square is considered Blocked if it is not inside the bounds of the Arena, or it contains an Entity.

In the “Traps” rule, replace “edited to contain a Laser Beam (represented by the Icon “IconLaser.png”)” with:-

edited to contain a Laser Beam (an Entity, represented by the Icon “IconLaser.png”)

Ditching the never-used “Large Object” block clause, and replacing it with “Entity” (since “Each Arena Square may contain either one or zero Entities” already means that a Gladiator can’t move into a square that already contains one Entity). Also making Laser Beams into Entities, since they’re currently just non-Entity pictures.

This would make stepping to traps and crates impossible, I think.

Oh, good point. At present you can pick “an adjacent Arena Square that is not Blocked” to move to, but if it turns out to contain an Entity, the move is illegal when you try to process its effects. But it’s enough to trigger the “would move into an Arena Square containing a Crate” effect of Crates and Traps.
