You've blown my mind.

Normal View is correct.

Diagonal characters block LoF not adjacency.

AB
CD

If A, B, C, and D are all opposing characters then, A can make a close combat attack against D because he is a adjacent even though he can not draw LoF for a ranged attack.

The same is true when placing barrier tokens you only need adjacncy from one to the next. The barrier tokens dont need to see each other as they dont have eyes anyway (at least in most cases) .

@V Oh i thought it was only two.

Doesn't work. Three or more of the barrier tokens have to be adjacent to each character for them to get a token.

I'm not sure what you mean by combining the two. Copsicles doesn't require you to drawn line of fire to characters.
