Because a character can draw line of fire at any level for a colossal, can they be in stealth? What if the colossal is a 2x2 base, and only one of the squares in hindered? Does that mean only that square of the base cant be targeted? What if a colossal is only behind hindering and not in it?

You seem to be using multi-based and colossal synonymously. Those are not the same thing.

As it is, you are correct about drawing LoF to a higher level.
You are on the right track with the bold part.
When targeting a multibased character you need to choose the square you are targeting.

I don't think I am. I ask specifically about multi-based characters in my question.

If your lof crosses hindering and they have Stealth, it's blocked.

Multi-base =/= !!

For or who are also Multi-base, all squares must be in Hindering in order to use Stealth (or to get the +1 DEF Hindering bonus), otherwise the shooter just targets the square not in the bushes.

For the record, I am well aware that colossal is not the same as multi-base. I'm not sure where this confusion is coming from.

Essentially what I'm asking is, can a character just target above the hindering?

What if on a multi-based character, one square was hindered, and the other was not, but it is blocked by blocking terrain?

Title of Thread: How does Hindering Effect Colossals with Stealth?

Not if the targeted portion occupies Hindering; Stealth will work on "all" elevations, in that case.

If LOF cannot be drawn to the non-Hindered square, then you will have to target the Hindered square.

Regardless of the "height" of the figure, if they have Stealth and are completely contained within hindering terrain, Lines of Fire to them are blocked. I know it doesn't make much sense to think about (especially with Colossals and the kind of hindering terrain they can hide behind, but that's the great example I used to write my signature.

If a multi-based figure had Stealth and only 1 square was in hindering terrain, your opponent can target a square of that figure that isn't in hindering.
If they are Colossal, it only applies to the squares they are standing in... if they are multi-base and no larger than a "normal figure," then any square of hindering between the attacker and the square they are targeting will block LOF (assuming nothing that ignores hindering for LOF).


[edit]: Bat-Ninja'd!!

My questions don't change. I had a question regarding all colossals, and a question regarding multi based colossals.

Confusion aside, I think my questions have been answered. Thanks guys
