Okay, this may be dumb, but I've got conflicting theories.

The horned devil has "reach 2".  Does that mean that there can be 2 empty tiles between the horned devil and its target?  Or just 1?  I ask because it says "2 spaces away".  What if there was a "reach 1" that said "one space away"?  Would that be adjacent?

I think that the card could have been better written.  So, to set an example, could the horned devil attack a target where the feral troll (large) was inbetween?

Thanks for reading this and hopefully responding the way that I want you to!  :P

Reach 1 is adjacent.  Reach 2 would be with one square between the horned devil and its target.  So, no trying to reach around that troll to smack the guy on the other side.  The troll is too big to get past.

It's a holdover from old dnd lingo as I understand, so thewok is correct. You can only reach over on extra space, not two!
