Hi. All the threads about this document seem to be closed, but I noticed an error:
11.4c Blocked Line of Fire
Line of fire is blocked if it intersects:
A square occupied by a character not occupying one of the two squares you’re
drawing between
Blocking terrain
Terrain of a different elevation
Terrain should only block line of fire if it is at a higher level than either the source or the target. For example, a character firing from one roof to another roof with an alley in between shouldn't have line of fire blocked.
This part of the rules accounts for lower elevation not blocking line of fire, potentially overriding my comment about 11.4c.
16.5d Elevated Terrain and Line of Fire
A line of fire between two squares on the same elevation that crosses elevated terrain of a
higher level is blocked. Line of fire between squares on the same elevation is not blocked
by elevated terrain of that level or lower, though other terrain at that elevation level
affects it normally.
A line of fire between different elevations is blocked by:
Blocking terrain on the lower elevation.
Elevated terrain of any level higher than the lower elevation, except the square the
line of fire is being drawn to or from.
A Giant or Colossal character
17.8b RANGE Object Action
A RANGE Object Action is defined as – RANGE: Minimum range 6. If this character is
holding an object, make a range attack targeting a single character that deals 2 damage
instead of normal damage. After resolutions, destroy the object.

Should this say "Maximum range 6?"
Minimum range is correct.
Wishing for competitive Judge Dredd figures for Modern Age...WizKids are you listening?!?!
It's very frustrating that these rulings did not affect the new rules documents. Would have been a great time to update targeting rules to include this situations.
But even worse is that the new rules removed the statement that blocking terrain on elevation lower than both target and source does not block line of fire! Are we supposed to believe that the boulder in the canyon blocks my line of fire across the canyon now? There is no rule that says it doesn't.
Ah yes I understand now though if some character had 7+ range and super strength I'm not sure why that would mean they could throw objects farther. Extremely minor quibble.
