HS Loopholes Episode I - Grapple Gun 25

This is a spoof of the consequences of a recent Hasbro ruling regarding Drake Alexander's Grapple Gun and going over ruins.

This is the original thread:
http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ead.php?t=3395

Since the story is about the rules themselves, it is extremely important to understand the layout of the battle field before we start (according to Sun Tzu, you should also understand the battle field before you start fighting on it):


Now with the story:





I branded this as episode I -- anyone feel free to do further episodes, just keep the title formatting.

If the Codex people actually want this (maybe re-sized as a comic strip) I'm open to negotiations.

I think thats unfair becuase it is in effect taking two turns, one to go up the ruin, one to go down. If the elevation on the other side is higher than the ruin then I would allow it.

Going down never takes a turn.

That said, the Hasbro ruling says he can if the other side is higher than where you start.

Note that the case you allow isn't physically possible. How do you handle battlements, btw?

I voted yes.

I mean, he'd take falling damage, but he would be able to.

Of course I voted yes.

Things you might have missed in the rulebook:
Figures can't pass through friendly engaged figures.
Figures can't attack themselves.

Funny stuff ArchonShiva! For my part, I'll rather play without moving or grappling over ruins.

Nope, in my house, it has never actually come up but I make him walk around, which takes about just as long.
