Re: Rulebooks and FAQ - PDF
For the most part, you're right. If figures are next to each other, they're adjacent.
The part you're wrong about is the different levels thing. Usually figures are still adjacent even if they're on different levels, assuming the spaces are next to each other. The only time they're not adjacent is if one figure is a number of levels higher than the other figure that's greater than the lower figure's height. Example: Krav Maga Agent (Medium 4) is on a level 1 space. Raelin (height doesn't matter for her in this example) is on a level 5 space. They are not adjacent, because the Krav Maga's height (4) is not greater than the difference of the two levels (5-1=4). Keep in mind that water spaces do not add any height to the tile they're on. So a water space directly on the table is level 0, not level 1. Height is also used for adjacency over obstacles (like ruins). If Grimnak (height 12, I think) and Mimring (9, if memory serves me) are next to each other with a ruin between them, they're still adjacent, because the ruin only has height 6. If a marro warrior and a tarn viking warrior were there, they would not be adjacent. Hope that helps. (and in the future, you should use the Question Dump that's stickied in this forum. You'll get more answers and faster answers that way). EDIT: 3) yes, you can run around the opponent's figure, as long as you stay adjacent, without receiving any leaving engagement attacks. 4) You can only climb up a space that is less than your height. So your height 5 figure can only climb up to a space 4 levels higher (which would take 5 movement points). 5) You can spin figures around during your movement, as long as they're single spaced. But yes, you can see "backwards" as long as your line of sight doesn't pass through the figure's shoulders or arms or body, just the head. |

Last question line of sight. At any time you may turn a single spaced figure and there are restrictions for double spaced figures (I don't recall) but say you wanted to shoot someone with a Krav. You move then can turn him/her. If someone is behind Grimnak I believe he can simply flip around (as long as he fits in his new orientation). Typically what I have done in a pinch is use common sense, if you don't know a rule ask yourself Does it feel right. If so you should be good and then come if you still have a question. Keep doing what you're doing, but do it better. ~Self Classic Card Scans & Tourney Map Building Requirements Excel Sheet Last edited by itsbuzzi; May 8th, 2018 at 01:26 PM. Reason: Thanks Superfrog |

Re: Rulebooks and FAQ - PDF
Thanks for the response! Just a question or two in response to your awesome explanation.
1) when you say "climbing 4 levels" , you count the number of stacked hexes which is 4. Then you count one more to land on top right? Could a 5 height figure climb equal to it's height which would be 5 hexes high? |

Re: Rulebooks and FAQ - PDF
Yes.
If there's a "cliff" and the side of it is 4 hexes high (measured from the figure's starting space, of course), a medium 5 figure can move up it, and that would take 5 move. |

Welcome to the site,
@TerrainBrain
!
If you have any more questions, the Question Dump thread is the best and fastest way to get a reply. Also, seeing as you live in Queens, there's a Heroscape tournament being held in Long Island in July. You'd be more than welcome to join us. |

Re: Rulebooks and FAQ - PDF
Has anyone put together a comprehensive rulebook that includes the FAQ/rule clarifications and all of the up-to-date rules or are there versions of the rulebooks that are more printer friendly (lacking the visual artifacts that come from scanning like the darkening on the spine and, in the case of the Underdark rulebook, the big purple "DEMO" watermark)?

Re: Rulebooks and FAQ - PDF
Welcome
@Frostbiyt
. The D&D rulebook is the most comprehensive rulebook - not sue what you mean by DEMO watermark, maybe the scanned one is missing it if the Wizards one does not. The Advanced FAQs 13.4 is the most comprehensive addition, although there has been some debate and decisions since then I am not sure any more Official rulings.

The DnD rulebook hosted here is the one with the watermark and the links to the WotC hosted rulebooks are all broken. Anyways, I've run the low quality DnD version through Google's OCR and am working on formatting it so I can print that off and so I can search through it on a computer if needed. If anyone is interested I could post it when it's done. |

Re: Rulebooks and FAQ - PDF
Came up in a recent game and I forget the correct ruling, can a figure move through a figure occupying a Power Glyph?
EDIT: Whoops thought I was in the Questions thread but oh well now, not gonna double post. DOUBLE EDIT: Nevermind. A quick search found myself asking the same question 6 months ago. At least I think everyone will agree it's been a long 6 months and hey, I ruled it correctly for whatever that's worth. |

Re: Rulebooks and FAQ - PDF
Hello.
The FAQs, rulings, errata, etc. are unofficial, correct? If not, where can an official source be found? Thanks. |

Re: Rulebooks and FAQ - PDF
Is there a source from Hasbro or anything that would indicate such? The reason I ask, is because in a competitive setting, it's (obviously) extremely important to play according to official rulings and use official errata as opposed to community/player-created ones.
Thanks. |
