I think this needs to spell out that the figure does not take any falling damage when climbing down, if that's the intent. Also, there is no such thing as space being adjacent, it should be worded so as to place the figure adjacent.
Does updating the wording to say some form of "place that figure" instead of "move to" for both scaling up and down work? That also handles the lack of adjacent spaces.
Eh, "placing" is arguably sufficient, but why make it hard to interpret? I think flameslayer's version covers it nicely.

As for Unstable, I don't like "a space that was adjacent," because spaces can't be adjacent (exception for same-level). Again, flameslayer's version works much better. It removes the "fall to the side" aspect, but I personally don't think that's worth keeping with the rules troubles.

I'm not sure I like the "move 1" wording now that I see it. I worry you need to know your rules fairly well to understand what that means and the implications (and that Scaling can't be used with it). But it does allow a figure to fall off onto a space much lower than the pillar, which makes sense thematically.

A figure moved or placed by Unstable will receive falling damage.
I think this is the best we have. I'm fine with "move 1 space" because it's the cleanest way to word it and it shouldn't be hard to understand because figures move every turn. I do wonder if it could be any clearer that "that figure" refers to both figures that move 1 space and figures after the Pillar is destroyed. Maybe "If a figure cannot be placed"?

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Editing

Played a couple of scenarios with these things. In one game, used Omnicron Snipers and the other, the Airborne Elite. Both games were shutouts as soon as those guys got on the pillars. Although I know it’ll be impossible to prevent some units from being too strong here, I think we can try to tune the effectiveness. My current guess is lowering the defense on these things to 3.

Oh, I should note that these games weren’t really for competitive play. I was just messing around with scenario ideas.

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Editing

3 Defense sounds like the perfect dial to tweak if we need to. Airborne have always been the most dangerous thing you can do with pillars (well, now there's Moltenclaw, too, but he's only 1 figure and doesn't have 8 Range).

With the "move 1 space" version, a figure could move from one pillar to an adjacent one (and not fall). Is that ok?

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Editing

I'm fine with that quirk.

Figures could also move to an adjacent cliff or ledge that's closer than the ground is to avoid falling damage, correct?

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Editing

New to this very exciting project, but has the case of being surrounded been addressed? For instance, you wound the tower but there is no adjacent space for the figure on top to move to?

And going back to an earlier comment, would being able to attack figures on other crypoliths be thematic by simultaneously occupying two realities (ie a Knight of Weston on one Crypolith could attack a Krav Maga on another)

We're glad to have you here!

This is probably a question best reserved for @Scytale , but perhaps we'll need to add wording that the figure must move 1 space if possible?

I really like the creativity, but I think that we should try to keep it as simple as possible here. In the past, concerns have also been expressed about having the terrain features not clearly linked to the physical attributes of the sculpt. For example, there was opposition to these pillars boosting movement or having a teleportation effect because it isn't clearly expressed by the sculpt, which led to the direction of them being unstable pillars for figures to stand on top of.

Yeah, I suppose it needs the qualifier.
