How long is "yard" on the screen?

[Demppa]

Paladin auras get higher radius when the slvl grows. Also some of the other skills have their radius, but how long is a yard on the screen? :scratch:

or you can take three steps with your character while walking and measure.

Important to mention that it's all relative to the size of your monitor/projector. This illustration should be of some help.

Yea I forgot about that.

If you play on a projector and the screen is 6 feet tall then it could be a lot more. Next time I'll add a disclaimer on screen/projector size.

Just measure the foot size of your character with a ruler and then add 2 more for a total of three, then you'll have a estimated distance.

How close do mobs have to get to a corpse for death sentry to activate? My sentry has 11 yard radius right now which would hit the whole screen according to that picture, but the sentry doesn't start blowing stuff up that early, it waits till mobs get closer to the corpse.
