-[[Player-Avatar Proximity]] is a specific gameplay feature that can be used in [[Hybrid Gameplay Spaces]], which modifies both how players can act within these spaces and the [[Avatars]] inhabiting them. Given that both players and avatars have possibility to move, the pattern creates [[Physical Navigation]] and is likely to create [[Orthogonal Differentiation]] in the form of [[Privileged Movement]] since it is unlikely that players and avatars will have the same possibility of moving. These two ways of locomotion is likely to give games additional [[Replayability]], especially if players need to choose [[Classes]] and these provide only one of the types of locomotion.

-Being close to other players is important in games where players physically enact gameplay action, e.g. [[:Category:Live Action Roleplaying Games|Live Action Roleplaying Games]] and [[:Category:Sports|Sports]]. Likewise, games the proximity to other avatars is usually important in games that take place in virtual environments, for example [[:Category:Fighting Games|Fighting Games]], [[:Category:FPS Games|FPS Games]], and [[:Category:Massively Multiplayer Online Games|Massively Multiplayer Online Games]]. However, a less common case is when the physical location of one player and the virtual location of another player's avatar is important to gameplay. This [[Player-Avatar Proximity]] feature can only occur in games where players locations are mapped to virtual environment (or vice versa) but then gives players an additional level of complexity of spatial relations.

+Being in some sense a combination of [[Player-Player Proximity]] and how [[Avatars]] can interact with each other, the design of [[Player-Avatar Proximity]] has the possibilities of both and often the consequences of them as well. As one example, [[Extended Actions]] can be used both to require a certain time before the proximity is acknowledged by the game system and the effect of being in the proximity can be an [[Extended Actions|Extended Action]].
