ScapeCon II Map Contest: Deadline May 7th

[OEAO]

So myself and a few others have been doing some digging through the castle rules, and there's one ruling in particular that is really weird and has really bad implications.


First, a few reminders:

1. No floating ladders. The ladder must meet the landing space and the top space.

2. The top of the ladder (not the pegs) must be flush with, or 1 level higher than, the top space. It cannot be a level lower.

3. The landing space must have height (IE it cannot be water, swamp water, molten lava, or shadow).

4. Each landing space can only have 1 ladder.


Now for the ruling. Page 6 of the FAQ states: "Note, small and medium single-space figures must use the ladder if it is there."

I'm ruling for ScapeCon that this only applies when moving up. Small and medium figures can skip the ladder when moving down.

My brain is off today. I understand "pegs" to refer to the vertical 'poles' of the ladder, and assume that "top of the ladder" must therefore refer to the horizontal cross-parts. But am wondering if I'm reversing things.... Clarification appreciated.

Absolutely correct! I didn’t know how to phrase it… the rule book does a good job displaying it.
