When you're attacking someone on the ground with someone on the roof, you ignore all characters and hindering terrain between you. The fact that there's a stealthed figure in front of the flier is irrelevant; only the square your target is in matters.
Blocking terrain outside the elevated figure's square still blocks LoF when firing between an elevated position and a grounded one. Barrier will protect a grounded figure from everyone---elevated, big fig, whatever.
This is the same reason a Stealth figure who is actually in hindering is safe from an elevation-based attack.
Originally posted by Heretic What I meant by barrier is if you switched the stealthed figure in my diagram for a barrier, so it looks like this:
B
FB
BB
____
R
Can R shoot F through the barrier, on an outdoor map if R is a ranged attacker on elevated terrain? F is not in stealth.
Ok, that's different. If there was actually a Barrier there... but there wasn't. There was just a Stealthed figure in front of F, and as Spock and I explained, F is a viable target from the roof. If there WAS a Barrier involved, HeroComplex has already explained that situation.
In my day, we didn't have Heroclix. If you were being attacked by Superman with a 3d dumpster, you just had to hope you could outrun him.
Here's a question. Say my Bullseye is perched on a roof top, can he fire down at a Batman hiding in a bush? Being on the higher elevation means I ignoring hindering, right?
Kiryu, firing from elevation just means you ignore any hindering terrain and figure bases between you and the target. If Batman is actually standing in hindering terrain, he's still stealthed and you still can't shoot him.
If you can draw two lines of fire, PW should hit everyone. Are you telling me that just because Batman is hiding behind a Coke Machine, that an explosion can't hit him? All I can think about is the nuke from T2 coming down the street, then going around Batman who happend to be hiding on a dumpster. I can see not being able to draw a line to him, but ...come on!
The key is, you cannot draw a LoF to the Stealthed figure, so you cannot hit the Stealthed figure... even when it's a Pulse Wave against a group. I took that specific question (well ok, Tsannik took it for me, as I was not a judge then) to the Judge's Forum. After several months, the ruling came down...
No LoF to Stealth means he can't be hit.
