If I'm reading this correctly, you're asking if you would receive the 2 dice from extreme height advantage. If so, then it would depend upon the height of the character you're attacking. Yes, the wall-walk tile your figure is standing upon is level 10, but to get the additional dice, your figures base must be ten or more levels above the target's height - that is, yours must be standing at least 10 levels above the other's head.

Thank you everyone. Lefton4ya thank you for bringing that to my attention, have always overlooked that. So if I'm getting this right, let's say I have a figure who's height is 5 and is on top of a capped castle wall piece. He shoots down on a figure who's height is also 5. I only get 1 extra attack die because I'm only 5 levels higher than his height right?

I would say that's correct.

Although if you're on a double-height castle, and at least 10 levels higher than their height, from my memory of the rules, you get +3 total bonus from extreme height. (+1 for height, and +2 extra)

Hmmm really, isn't it just 2? Can someone verify that

It's just the 2 dice. They replace normal height advantage.

In the BFTU rulebook it says +2 (total) for extreme height.

In the SOTM it says +2 (total).

In the ROTV (2nd ED) it says "two extra dice"...

Apparently I was mis-remembering...

[xraine69]

I think we both confused it mith "major fall".

[Kaemon Awa 123]

Heh, thanks for answering, even though I already knew the answer.

What I didn't know was that major height was 10 levels, I thought that it was 12... um... sorry Charos

If Syvarris or another double attack-er is killed by counter strike of Evil Eye Protection or some such ability, does he still get the second strike? So basically, do the two attacks happen at the same time, or is the second after the first?

Nope. If Syvarris dies after the first atack, he loses the second.
