What are all of the rulings on being diagonal for double-bases figures. I know I read somewhere that you can't go diagonal around the corner of a wall. Any other rulings...??? Can I be a jerk and drop Lockjaw diagonal inbetween two figures (X and Y)?

-X--
--Y-

Then drop Lockjaw (O)

-XO-
-OY-

Is that possible?

I am not sure what you mean here. This?


_lD
DX

D = Double based character
_ and l = walls

X = something else

If that is what you meant, the only time you can't position a double based character that way is when X = blocking terrain (barrier, more walls, whatever). Otherwise (X = clear, hindering, characters, etc), that is perfectly legal.

If you meant something else, please try and explain it a bit better.

Yes.

Think of it this way: when moving a double base character, you are really only moving one end (the end from which you are counting squares); the other end is just along for the ride like a carried character. And like a carried character, it can be deposited in any non-occupied square adjacent to the first end with the first end is done moving.

Yep. And it's not a jerk thing, it's just an effective strategy.

And where did you read about going around the edge of a wall? Seems to me that should be fine.



EDIT: Seriously, I should give up.
