Still new and i have read the post and the clarifications on Heroclix site here is my question


XXCXXEM

X is clear terrain
C is character
E is a line of elevated terrain
M is a character

Can they draw lines of fire to one another?

Normally no.

EDITED: Well, you learn something new every day.

you can only see each other from different elevations if:

1. The higher character has to be on the edge of the upper elevation.
2. The characters are on elevations that are one apart. 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, etc.
3. There can't be blocking terrain between them.
4. The line of fire can come off at 45 degree angles from the upper character generally, the rule is that the line of fire cannot cross through elevated terrain other than the space the higher character is standing in.

To me, your example makes it look like the higher character is standing back one spot from the ledge, so he cannot be seen. Unless it's just a poor diagram :-) If he's on the edge and can be seen from a number of angles from below.

Under normal circumstances, the character on elevated terrain must be on the edge of said terrain in order to draw LoF to and from a lower elevation.

The elevation rules in this game are very simple in that they are very exact rules that do not mesh with real life or rules of games that try to mimic real life.

he would be in the middle of the terrain.

The bold is incorrect. The LOF is not clear from L1 to L3 if it crosses L2, but I can draw LOF between characters on L1 and L100 as long as there are no elevation levels mapped between them.
