Hey realmers I have a question for you guys. In todays tourney the judge had already left and we were playing a game for fun. So the Question is can you leap/climb and close combat expert someone on a building while the L/C fig is on the ground? I say no.
Also this opened up Pandora's Box for L/C, can you use it with B/C/F and/or Exploit weakness in the same sense?
g = ground
c = leap/climb figure on the ground
e = elevated terrain
| = line between elevated and ground
x = elevated squares that the leap/climb figure can attack from the ground

You must use a close combat action to attack the character on elevated terrain. So yes, BCF would work when making this kind of attack. Exploit Weakness and Close Combat Expert would not.
Leap/Climb allows you a close combat action against a character at any elevation or flight mode. Close Combat Expert requires a power action to activate so it would not work, however, BCF and EW both activate with a close combat action so those two would work.

Good rule of thumb: If it can be combined with Charge, it can be used in a Leap/Climb attack against a figure on a different elevation, otherwise it can't.
So quite a lot of powers can be used:
Blades/Claws/Fangs
Exploit Weakness
Super Strength
Incapacitate
Steal Energy
Quake
Haymaker
and quite possibly a few others I've forgotten. However, as noted, Close Combat Expert does not work.
g = ground
c = leap/climb figure on the ground
e = elevated terrain
| = line between elevated and ground
x = elevated squares that the leap/climb figure can attack from the ground

Wow, that's one of the clearest diagrams I've ever seen here on the Realms. Good job.
LEAP/CLIMB
(optional): When you give this character a move action, it automatically breaks away and ignores the effects of characters, hindering terrain, and outdoor blocking terrain on movement. This character may end its movement on elevated or outdoor blocking terrain. This character may target a non-soaring or soaring figure with a close combat action, regardless of the target’s elevation.
