Hey when I was a judge back in the day...

Before Indy was releases I could have sworn that if someone with L/C got knockbacked off elevated terrain and fell to the ground that they ignored the falling damage.
Was I right or am completely off my rocker?

I have looked for everything in the Indy rules and current FAQ and the current rules have no special provisions for a L/C figure...just Hovering characters.

1) so did the L/C get to ignore falling damage in the old rules?

2) L/C figures take falling damage with the new rules, Right?

thanks

And If I am right on both accounts...why did they change that ?

Seems dumb that spiderman will take falling damage, but can still jump up to attack Soaring Angel in the sky!

peace

They didn't change. Even under the original rules figures with L/C and Phasing were effected normally by knockback, whether off of a building or into a wall. They explained that the movement powers where only in effect when the figure moved under its own power. The only figures that did not take damage from getting knocked back off of a roof were (and still are) flying figures.

That's stupid.

Why? People with leap/climb may be able to jump high (or climb) but they fall the same as anyone else who can't fly.
