Monster focus - part #1

Placeholder

Before performing any action on their ability card, each individual monster will focus on a specific enemy—either a character or character summon.

A monster will focus on the enemy figure it can perform its current attack against using the least amount of movement.

It finds the shortest possible path to get in range and line-of-sight to use its attack.

The figure that can be attacked at the end of that path is the focus.

It doesn’t matter if the monster can’t get within range to attack, as long as there is a path to eventually get within range.

If a monster does not have an attack listed on its ability card for the round, it finds a focus as if it had a melee attack.

In the case where the monster can move the same number of spaces to get within range (and line-of-sight) of multiple enemy figures (e.g., because it starts its turn within range of multiple enemies).
