can a monster with a large base (ie giant, ogre, spider, dragon, etc.) move through rubble?
for example. There is a 2 space wide hallway. The OL plays crushing block, can the ogre move past the block? or does this prohibit large monster movement in essence quartering them to a particular space?
rubble...sorry...

FAQ pg2
The overlord may choose to have a
(large)
monster affected by any terrain it partially
occupies
.
Large monsters can only choose to ignore terrain effects they occupy. If their movement is blocked by terrain, they can't enter that terrain, and if they can't enter then they can't occupy, and if they can't occupy they can't ignore the terrain rules.
Yes, large monsters have a number of significant disadvantages.
OTOH they can pretty much ignore pits, mud, lava etc unless there is really a lot of it.
rock on, thanks for the response. I really appreciate it!
