Mind Blast doesn't need clear line of sight. Can it attack under an overhang?

This is the kind of question that really should not be here. This thread should not be filled with questions that can be easily answered by the community.

Jordahwn (J), targets the Divider(D) with Rain of Flame. She rolls her attack dice. D rolls defense dice and recieves a wound. D rolls a 17 or higher and places a Divider on adjacent empty space E. Is the newly placed Divider affected by Rain of Flame?

Any newly placed figures are not affected by the original attack.

Okay, this is a quickie, but we couldn't reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion:

Is there a requirement that you have an active dwarf hero in order for the Axegrinders to ignore them to get the +2 to move? Or conversely, could I draft 7xAxegrinders + Isamu and have all the Dwarves move 6?

Dear rules team ,

How does Teleport Reinforcements interact with Sujoah's Poison Sting Special Attack?

Teleport Reinforcements works when Tul-Bak-Ra takes wounds from a special or normal attack, but is not destroyed.

One option is to tally up how many wounds Poison Sting does, make sure Tul-Bak-Ra is still alive when Poison Sting Special Attack ends and then Teleport Reinforcements equal to the number of wounds Tu-Bak-Ra took from the entire attack.

The other option is roll after every time Poison Sting does one damage, and Teleport a unit if appropriate until Poison Sting stops or Tul-Bak-Na dies.

The ruling for how Leaf of the Home Tree and Poison Sting interact seems to set precedent for the second interpretation. The ruling that splash damage does not affect the just Teleported troops might lead some credence to the first interpretation.

As with all questions posted to this thread, now we have to have a pow-wow.

I think this one is easy, we will consult and get back to you

Whoops copy and pasted the wrong one.

Sujoah against Tul-Bak-Ra:

After each wound inflicted place one Marro figure then roll for poison damage. Continue one at a time placing a marro figure for each wound inflicted by Sujoah's poison unless that wound or a roll of 20 destroys Tul-Bak-Ra..

Thanks for the thread and all you guys do for the community.

I agree with Grungebob. If I may be so bold, this isn't something like stacking water tiles that is specifically stated as a no-no. It might not be specifically prohibited by the rules, and I don't see why it should be prohibited. I think that a BoV decision to not allow it is something that the BoV judges should decide.

Dwarves:

Axegrinders do get the extra 2 move whenever they activate but do not choose to bond.

This means that if you do not draft a Dwarven Hero in your army, you will have fast dwarves with every activation.

In Heroscape there are traditional units but there are also units that might not behave as you'd expect. Look at Sgt drake and his samurai sword, or Dead eye Dan and his ullar rifle, or Valguard and his arm. Yes with the right rolls a viking squad can out run a viper squad.

Thanks for clarifying that (and for keeping the answer simple and card intuitive, even if some don't feel it is "fantasy" intuitive).

I like the idea of fast, hard-running dwarves. They just put more into battle than the next guy. I'm a believer.

There seems to be a curse on this quesion. I posted it in the wrong thread first

I feel this ruling is in line with the earlier ruling on Leaf of the Home Tree. Good job keeping things consistant. Thanks!

Thanks Gbob. I think this and the titles will help.
