OUT OF THE...SPOTS?:#Once per turn, before The Spot is given a close combat action, you may place him in any square within 6 squares & line of fire that's also adjacent to a wall or to a square of terrain that's blocking for movement purposes.

would this also work with barrier markers?

I don't see why not. Barrier Terrain markers are blocking terrain for movement purposes.

thank you W.I.T.

You're welcome.

It would also work with the Dynamostat.

No such luck elevated terrain, however.

Isn't elevated blocking for movement purposes?

can he carry someone with him also?

I would agree with this. Elevated terrain is blocking for movement purposes, so should work with the Special Power.

Well, movement and placement are two different things. The Carry Ability states that you can carry when you are given an action that results in movement.

I don't think you could Carry someone and use his Special "placement" power.

ok thanks.

"Blocking movement" and "being considered blocking terrain for movement purposes" isn't the same thing. Elevated terrain won't work with Spot's SP, sadly.

Is there anything in the game at the moment that would be blocking for movement purposes, but not for other purposes?

Dynamostat used to be blocking for (among other things) movement purposes, but I think that is the only effect that said so explicitly.

Blocking movement (does not =) Blocking Terrain for Movement Purposes

Gotta love this game...

(Don't get me wrong, Quebbs. I understand that your just the messenger)

By your reasoning, then, opposing characters should be valid "targets" for Spot's SP. Can't move through an opposing character's square, after all...


Bottom line: Blocking terrain is a very specific thing. If something isn't called blocking terrain, or includes a caveat that says it is blocking terrain for X or Y purpose, then it is not blocking terrain.
