LOF with Barrier Question

[frobro]

Figure A is on the edge of a builiding. He wants to shoot figure B on the ground who has a barrier in front of him. Can figure A hit him even though the Barrier is there?

I believe you can shoot over a barrier from an elevated position but I might be wrong.It has been known to happen.

[CyberVenom]

Good question. I would think not, since barrier's are considered blocking terrain.

[frobro]

Wouldn't you have to be standing on top of the barrier to use a ranged combat against someone from that angle?

[Dexceus]

Figures on the edge of eleveated terain ignore hindering terrain and figure bases. Barrier is blocking terrain, so it is not ignored and would block LOF.

[frobro]

I agree with deusceus. Were about to play and the other players want to hear a judge ruling on this. Judges please?

[Keleko]

This just came up at a tournament where I played. I'd never considered it before. However, the judge there ruled that I cannot see the figures behind the barrier. Since it specifically says you can only shoot over the square of blocking terrain you occupy, I agree that you cannot see over the barrier to shoot behind it.

Also, you can't stand on a barrier.

Barrier, as Blocking Terrain, will block LOF between elevated and grounded figures, no matter which is attacking.

That is a quote by HeroComplex and confirmed by Chapeau.

Can you fly over a barrier?

[Heroclix1234]

Depends...

Outdoors -- then anyone with Flying, L/C, or phasing can move over/thorough a barrier.

Indoors -- only phasing (as the barrier goes all the way to the roof.)
