Huh?

So what you are saying is that after the minotaurs went, on the mage's 
action they were still out of range.
So he sacrificed his action to gain an action before the minotaurs went. . 
. 
Yet since he was going before the minotaurs they wouldn't have had the 
chance to move any closer so they would still be out of range. . . 


Let me guess. . . you argued for the Refocus rule when you were 
playtesting D20 didn't you?
