-====== Reach ======
-Reach is the distance at which a character can attack an opponent with melee weapons, natural attacks, or unarmed strikes without having to move from their current position. This distance is typically based on the length of a character's limbs or the size and type of their wielded weapon.
-A creature of Small or Medium size will typically have a Reach of 1.  This means that they can attack a creature located in an adjacent square.  For the sake of simplicity, we consider squares that are diagonal to be adjacent.
-Creatures that are Large, or even larger, may have a greater base Reach.  The typical Reach of a creature is given in the [[unbound:rules:creature_size|Creature Size]] page.  A creature with Reach greater than 1 can attack foes at a greater distance.
-Creatures that are Tiny or Diminutive have a Reach of 0.  Creatures with a Reach of 0 must be in the same square as their target in order to attack them.  Luckily for those creatures, they typically //can// enter their foe's square.
-Creatures that are Fine have a Reach of Close.  This means that their Reach is 0, //and can never be improved//.
-===== Diagonal Reach =====
-Reach counts off its diagonal squares in the same fashion as [[unbound:rules:Movement]]:  The first square counts as one, the second as two, the third as one, the fourth as two, and so on.  Creatures with Reach of 2 or better will lose some of their corner squares as a result, as shown in the diagram below.

-===== Threatened Squares =====
-A creature that could make a melee or unarmed attack into a square is said to **threaten** that square.  If a creature provokes a Counterattack from a threatening creature, the threatening creature can make a [[unbound:actions:Counterattack]] against the provoking creature within the threatened square.
