If I use a fastball special on a Soaring figure, does my guy take falling damage?

Big Figs should block line of fire and movement.

<b>When a character is in base contact with an opposing grounded/hovering figure, that character may not use any type of action to affect any figure which is not also in base contact. Telekinesis attacks, of any sort, directed against adjacent figures are excluded from this.</b>


Does this include perplex, outwit and probability control? You can only use those powers on people you're adjacent to?

Change to:
- Characters may attack figures on elevated terrain at -1 to their normal range, per elevation. This also applies to moving figures and objects with telekinesis. Figures and objects may not be left in the air.
- Characters with Super Strength may throw an adjacent friendly grounded figure up to 6 spaces. The thrown figure may then immediately use a close combat action, but can take no other actions. If that figure then falls, 2 clicks of damage will be dealt per elevation.

- When a figure is knocked back by damage of 3 or more and hits blocking terrain, that figure goes through the blocking terrain and stops in the next square. This does not apply to external boundaries or elevated terrain.

you could just say Indoor maps only on this. cause there is also evelated blocking terrain.

They do, unless they're soaring. But then, they're high in the air, and grounded figures can ignore them.

If that figure then falls, 2 clicks of damage will be dealt per elevation.

Characters immune to Knockback damage or have Leap/Climb do not take damage.

Big Figs can't soar even though they have the Flight icon on their base.

When you're in close combat, yes. But, you can now Outwit Stealth while in close combat, and Perplex will last until your next turn.

I thought that was a positive change all around.

Not with these rules. That terrain is now another level of elevation.

Really? Since when? I can't find that it any of the rules or FAQs.

Change to:
- Outwit, Perplex, and Probability Control may be used in close combat or at the range of the figure, minimum range of 4. They will remain free actions.

Added:
- Force Blast and knockback follow the continuation of the line of sight path. If the target’s base then straddles two or more squares, the attacker chooses one of those squares as the final destination for the figure.

Change to:
- Force Blast and Telekinesis may be used in close combat or at the range of the figure, minimum range of 4.
- Large characters interact with figures on the same elevation or higher as if that figure were on the same elevation as the large character.

Big Figs can't soar because they simultaneously exist at all three levels of elevation: Grounded, Elevated, and Soaring.

Where are you getting this from?
I can't find any reference to this.
Maybe it's a house rule at your location?
