Re: Settling Line of Sight Rules for Double Spaced Figures
You're right, but Jotun does need clear sight when placing figures with Throw.

Re: Settling Line of Sight Rules for Double Spaced Figures
Oh yes of course and Shurrak needs clear sight when knocking a figure. It is weird because on Shurrak's card the green dot appears to be on his hands.

Re: Settling Line of Sight Rules for Double Spaced Figures
That is weird. I'd probably say that the dot's actually right on top of his head under his hands, but it's definitely not on his eyes. I do think it's an error that should have been errata-ed.

Re: Settling Line of Sight Rules for Double Spaced Figures
Wait, so what is this conclusion actually saying? Are you trying to tell me that Q10 cannot shoot that Nagrub?

I would read it more as, "Q9, like all figures, must be able to see figures to shoot them. Because his sculpt is funky, you might want to look from the other side to make sure he can see properly. Because of his sculpt, he can't see people directly behind him." It seems to me like they just didn't think of a situation where a figure was behind him and could be seen from his head when they answered that question. Having two characters singled out as being unable to shoot anybody they can see seems really ridiculous. Repaints My Maps Online Maps Customs CoN is FuN

Re: Settling Line of Sight Rules for Double Spaced Figures
Q10 can totally see that Rat. He's got a clear line from his head to the Rat that doesn't pass through his back or any part of his body other than his head.
Most of the time they can't shoot behind themselves, but a different angle like you've got changes that. The note about seeing the side of Q9's head suggests that "Q9 and Q10 can't shoot behind themselves" is not an absolute rule, but a rule of thumb. |

Re: Settling Line of Sight Rules for Double Spaced Figures
I did mention that the line has to go through the target point, not just any part of the head.
The rule where it says that the side of Q9's face counts for drawing line of sight (from a figure mostly behind him, no less) suggests that double-spaced figures can see directions other than forwards out of their head. |

Re: Settling Line of Sight Rules for Double Spaced Figures
@Dr.Goomonkey
I agree with your logic in the example you pointed out if we are ruling that the one exception to the green dot not being able to see through your own body is being able to see through your own head.
From a thematic standpoint, however, it's still somewhat hard to accept. I would think that the spirit of the rule is that in order for a figure to see behind himself he would need to flip his base since one typically cannot turn his head all the way around. It's why I like my 180 degree facing interpretation since you can typically turn your head side to side but to see behind yourself you would need to turn around or flip. It's also why I thought hasbro specifically pointed out that Q9 cant see behind himself but could see to the side if the shoulder pads arent blocking. Also in the instruction booklet via pictures, they frequently demonstrate line of sight as requiring you to get behind a figure you are aiming with to determine if the attack is possible. One other thing to consider is the placement of the green dot on the card. If you could see anywhere from the head, I think they would have placed the dot in the center of the head instead of towards the front. |

Disease?
Is there a figure in heroscape that has a disease special attack?
