I couldn't find any direct wording in the rulebook, so I want to be clear:

All characters on same elevation: Giants block lines-of-fire to other giants from all other characters.

But when characters are elevated, non-elevated giants do not block lines-of-fire to any other figure (including other giants).

I get this from the fact that it is explicitly figures that don't block LoF to giants, ergo a figure with the or does block LoF to other giants.

As written, I'd say that you are correct.


Please note that I think that the giant/colossal rules were very poorly written out in the last rulebook.

EDIT: wait, found what I was looking for. FF rules, page 12-13.

An otherwise clear line of fire between an elevated character and a grounded character is blocked by grounded blocking terrain, as well as giant characters and colossal characters (see p. 16); hindering terrain does not affect a line of fire drawn between an elevated character and a grounded character unless the target occupies a square of hindering terrain.


In other words, and block LOF even when the character trying to draw LOF is elevated.

IMO, the rulebook really needs to repeat certain information specifically when it comes to figures with the "non-standard" symbols. I'm thinking about the ability to be carried, TKed, knockback, ranged/close combat, etc.

YMMV, but I find it painful to have to jump between two (or more) sections to find the answers to questions involving those guys.

Thanks. I thought that there was something, but I couldn't find it.

Regardless, they're still poorly written. (There's almost nothing under the colossal rules for ranged comba, though they are supposed to be like the giants.)
