I don't see "movement" as specifically referring to a figure's turn. |

Nevermind, everybody. Flash is right.
Here's a quote from that spells it out: Quote:

Also, when you read through some of the Q&A’s on the FAQ’s, they seem to support that a figure can only pick up a treasure glyph on their turn. Quote:

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.
Okay, and another question (both this and the previous one came up in a game against Sir Heroscape earlier today).
When are you allowed to move from one space to another, specifically with overhangs involved? Here's the example in question: I have a figure that is Medium 5, single-spaced. It's currently on level 2. On an adjacent hex, there is a bridge that is on level 6, and a water space directly below the bridge on level 0. You can see a video of the map in question in this spoiler:
Spoiler Alert!
Can this medium 5 figure step onto the bridge space? The answer is definitely yes, as the rulebook instructs you to count "nearby support tiles". All you need is to be at least 4 levels tall (6-2=4), and have at least 5 movement points remaining. Can this medium 5 figure step onto the water space? I think the answer should be yes, but I'm not sure the logic holds. Here's how I got to "yes": The figure can fit on both the first space (the level 2 space) and the second space (the level 0 space). Here's a quote from the FAQ (although it's answering a question about double spaced figures): Quote:
Should the answer just be some quick math ("6-2=4, so you can't go down, you can only go up since your height is 5"?). That seems like a fair enough rule, although it would be disappointing that the crouching Airborne Elite couldn't move onto a space that he very comfortably fits on. EDIT: Here's a thread where somebody used my logic to claim that a dragon (or any big double-spaced figure) can fit through a one-hex hole between two levels, assuming it fits on both the top space and the bottom space.

I believe the ruling is that if it fits legally, you can place it there. All other circumstances aside, including sliding into a dinky hole or being between 2 Stinger Rifles, Nilfy’s wings, smacked by Grimnak’s tail...

@superfrog
that Figures that can't go through the door - The Definitive list you linked to in your edit has a good summary:

And you probably know this but your formula with height versus terrain would seem to be contradicted by the rules - in the SotM rule book, the one Marro Stinger can’t fit under the overhang because of his gun, even though his height is just fine to fit under it. So unfortunately, doing it that way might be problematic too. And yep - the example with the dragon is crazy, but it fits with the official rules. So I’d just say the responsibility is on map designers when designing tournament style maps to not abuse those rules and to minimize opportunities for these kinds of situations to arise. If it’s a random map at your house - just house rule it. that’s my anyway. |

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.
Thanks to both of you. I feel more confident that I was right.
The hard thing is that MOST of the questions about fitting through some opening come about with double-spaced figures. The monk FAQ is helpful in reinforcing the principle with single-spaced figures, even though it's not 100% the scenario I had in mind. Good find there. |

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.
Appreciate the diligence in researching this point. Definitely helps the judging of that particular map (and other future potential maps).

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.
Still figuring out the interface here, could only tell how to post as a reply, so help with that appreciated.
I wanted to know if there were any heroes or units based on the Stargate SG1 series, I'd love to incorporate something like that. I'm new to the site and to Heroscape, I got lucky at a thrift store and am jumping into the game. Just a few plays but I've really enjoyed them. Thanks! |

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.
Welcome to the site and the game! My your lucky finds continue.
I don't know that I've seen Stargate customs, but you could try the "Search This Forum" button in the Custom Units & Army Cards section. @MegaSilver is also a huge Stargate fan, so he may know something. That reminds me, I have a custom Stargate terrain piece (with accompanying glyphs) and some other custom terrain made by other talented 'scapers that I need to get out and play with...
