one last question and i'll be all set for this saturday.

this may sound weird but: can i perplex up someones range (even if they have 0 range?)

thanks for all the help fellas.

yes you can

A situation this could be useful in is Perplexing a 0 range figure standing on the edge of elevated terrain without Leap/Climb up to 1 and shooting a figure in an adjacent grounded square. Yes, I know the squares are not adjacent for game purposes, but for real life purposes you better believe they are

Just keep in mind that you may not further increase the 4 range provided to figures (with 0 range normally) in a Mind Control attack, nor can you increase the range in which you can throw an object (6 for light, 4 for heavy).

actually wouldn't it be 2? theres still the -1 elevation modifier if i'm correct.

You don't decrease your range when targeting figures on grounded terrain from elevated terrain.

A is one of your figures
B is opposing
| is the edge of elevated terrain, A is elevated, B is not
X represents clear terrain

A|XXXB

Figure A has a range of 4... figure B is most certainly within that 4 range and eligible for attack... likewise:

A|B

A is again elevated, B is grounded. A lacks L/C and has 0 range. If you Perplex it up to 1, you can "shoot" one square out, making B a valid target.

ah okay, but if figure B had only 4 range he/she could not attack figure A because hes shooting up correct?

Again, no. Figure A would still be in range as it is still exactly 4 squares away. There is no modifier for elevation change outside of soaring unless I've missed something.

if i recall there was a rule which made you add 1 to the range count when shooting elevated to non-elevated. though it's possible this rule was scrapped as its printing in the original rulebook.

No such rule exists. I do not THINK it even existed in Original Rule book.

Tarnish

Here's the relevant text from the latest (LoSH) rulebook.
There is nothing that makes mention of an elevation modifier outside of the mention of soaring figures needing to use one movement point even if they are dropping to hovering on elevated terrain. There may have been something to the effect of what you're saying, but I don't recall ever reading that anywhere. You should just be able to use your normal range when drawing lines of fire to or from elevated terrain. Hopefully this helps!

it does, i just checked the infinity challenge rulebook, and it states "when a character using TK on an object against a character, add 1 to range for elevation changes"

memory loss + tire = bad result lol.

once again, thanks for the help on the original question

Being tired can mess with your head when dealing with HeroClix rules I made sure to check the FAQ and Errata and Clarifications documents just to be 100% sure and there is no mention of a modifier there either. The rules change so much that it's hard to not get them confused sometimes. I muddle them up occasionally too
You're quite welcome though, always happy to help.
