3 questions about entity movement:
- After reading the movement section, my assumption is that you roll the movement die once, and use this result for all entities. Is that correct, or should you roll seperatly for each entity or even each miniature/token.
- depending on the answer of the previous, if there are separate rolls, I assume the player can choose the order In which to trigger. If it is the same roll, and 2 entities want to move to the same space, I assume that the player can choose which one moves first (can matter for full spaces, certainly if big entities are involved).
- how does movement of big entities work exactly, when moving towards a single dreamer. Do they move to the tile of the dreamer, displacing him 1 space and end their movement (even if they have movement left) or do they consider the space full and stay 1 step away from the dreamer, falling back to the rule that a dreamer can not be displaced from a space with only 1 dreamer. I assume the first, but it gives some strange hopping around when you are staying next to a big entity and he keeps on stepping on your space.
thanks for the response. After looking in detail, found back the rules entry about rolling for each entity. It seems to be in the small print below the symbol regarding entities that don't move. I guess I assumed that the text there was some more details about that icon when scanning the pages for an answer.

> As you prefer. Details can be found in this manual excerpt:
Movement should be rolled separately for each Entity. However, you may decide to roll only once for all Entities in this Slumber/Dream. All Entities currently in the Dreamscape Move according to this roll. Though this method allows faster play, it is also less interesting. If you roll [MOVE 1 SPACE RESULT], all Entities will barely Move. But when you roll [MOVE FULL MOVEMENT VALUE + ANOTHER ROLL], they will probably all reach their targets.

> For details, see page 9 of the manual:
BIG ENTITIES ENTITIES. Some Entities are much bigger than others – their tokens are bigger (or their miniatures have a larger base). They are called Big Entities.
A Big Entity occupies the whole space it stands in and cannot be pushed out in any way.
When a Big Entity enters a space, it pushes all other miniatures and/or Entity tokens in that space to any adjacent spaces chosen by the players.
So:
Do they move to the tile of the dreamer, displacing him 1 space and end their movement (even if they have movement left)?
Yes - Entity first COMPLETED its Movement pushing Dreamer out of their space. It does not continue to move because it has already finished it.
Thanks for your questions!
