Eh, there is a difference between the two terms in HS and aren't really meant to be interchangeable.

Thus, the clarification. ^_^

I know that. But a figure cannot see itself!

I dunno, I still think that Raelin (and other Kyrie) suggests they can. I'll look in the FAQ's (and BftU's rulebook) and post back when I ind out.

Edit: Well I didn't see anything stating otherwise in either text. It appears as though sight in general is only used as a determining factor for other figures (the only official instance of this appears to be Sonlen's Dragon with its Healing ability, but that is a figure on a figure who is not used to check sight).

As such, use this information as you wish.

1) 1 water tile and 1 land tile, are they consider same level ? Can a 2hex figure land on 1 water tile and 1 land tile ?

2) 1 water tile stack on 1 land tile and beside 1 land tile. are they consider same level ? Can a 2hex figure land on 1 water tile and 1 land tile ?

thanks pls advice =)

[pieface!]

1. No, 1 water is considered no level, I believe. No. The base must be on equal elevation.

2. Yes, but a 2 hex figure still can't be placed there.

1. No, a water tile is considered zero height and a land tile one height, so a 2 hex figure cannot stand on one of each.

2.Yes, they are considered the same level in that case, so YES, a 2 hex figure can stand on it.

...unless two water tiles are stacked on top of one another, in which case it's even height.

It's easier to remember this:
1. Line of Sight must pass through at least one hex, but you always have LOS on adjacent models.
3. Clear sight must pass through at least one hex, but you always have LOS on adjacent models.

If you always remember that sight of any kind must pass through one hex, it saves you a lot of "rule-membering".

But if you would do that, you might as well just stick another hex there and put a water tile on top since water tiles don't stack well.

Or would 2 on top of each other be deep water and have possible damaging side effects... roll 20 sided die, if you roll a 20, you drown :P

This isn't accurate.

Under no circumstances is water or any zero height tile considered to have a height, even if stacked. Zero plus zero equals zero.

Furthermore, the stacking of zero height tiles is not allowed within the official rules. Using the Thalenk Tundra rule book, it says that "ice tiles cannot be stacked on water tiles, other ice tiles, or any other tiles that are considered to have no height." This is also referenced in the Volcarren Wasteland rule book and the Battle for the Underdark rule book.

Stacking of zero height tiles is completely a custom use of the terrain and there is no official rules or scenarios that support doing so nor how to count the height if you did.

Since this is a thread in the official rules area of the forum, I would be remiss if I did not point out that stacking zero height tiles is not an official way to build terrain.

[SuperflyTNT]

If you put a water tile on top of a land tile, it's not a zero level tile, though. It assumes the level of the tile below it, correct?

Furthermore, the stacking of zero level tiles is not allowed within the official rules. Using the Thalenk Tundra rule book, it says that "ice tiles cannot be stacked on water tiles, other ice tiles, or any other tiles that are considered to have no height." This is also referenced in the Volcarren Wasteland rule book and the Battle for the Underdark rule book.

And that applies to ice and shadow and lava, but is there any reference to WATER or SWAMP WATER in either master set rules? Not being a smart ass, genuinely curious. I've done this specifically because I don't have all that many 1-hex tiles so I do it to save tiles.

[Rÿchean]

Nope..nothing about swamp or water..but there is also no rules or scenarios for it being alowed. There is a previous incarnation of FAQ stating that zero *height* tiles never have height. If they never have height, how does stacking them give them height?

We all do it. I'm just pointing out that it isn't supported by the rules.
