I remember one of the heroclix rule books had a line of fire chart. This chart accounted for all sizes of character and how their line of fire was effected by other characters and terrain. I must have put it in the garbage by accident or misplaced it. Could someone please direct to a printable version of this chart? It would be greatly appreciated!

I havent seen them online.

You can make one in Excel.


I might just have to do that.

I had searched here before asking, but had no luck. I'll admit I was trying to take the lazy route! I guess Excel will be my next step.

Try this link its one of the old Normal distribution articles and has a download link at the bottom. Its a bit old now so I'm not sure how it would cope with multiple elevations or colossal figures though. Hope its what your looking for.

Here you go. Last page of this pdf:

Thanks for the info. That is exactly what I was looking for.

I just use geometry.


MATH IS YOUR FRIEND!

Haha! You don't understand the relationship math and I have. It is definitely not a friendly one.

Okay...is it safe to assume that the section of the chart regarding line of fire between grounded standard size characters and grounded giant characters blocked by elevated terrain has been replaced by the Giant Size ability?

Giant Size
(I will only include the relevant text)
This character may draw lines of fire (and have lines of fire drawn to it) as if the character occupied the elevation equal to or greater than the elevation it occupies, using the elevation level with the least restrictive line of fire.

Is the character referenced a character other than the one using the Great Size ability? If so, what I'm getting from this is that lines of fire drawn to or from any character using the Giant Size ability isn't effected by elevated terrain, no matter how many levels of elevation there are.

Am I comprehending this correctly?

Keep in mind that chart is out of date when it comes to on action.

A figure with 'Great Size' can always attack from or be targeted at an elevation higher than the elevation they occupy, and automatically do so from the least restrictive elevation.

So two grounded with only grounded terrain between them? They see each other clearly at elevation 1.

Two grounded with elevation 1 between them? They see each other clearly at elevation 2.

And so on.

That's not quite correct. Elevated terrain blocks line of fire if the following requirements are met:

1. An elevation rim line is between two figures.
2. The rim line is not adjacent to a square occupied by the character on the higher elevation.
3. The rim line is a higher elevation than the terrain occupied by the character on the lower elevation.

If all those conditions are met, then the elevated terrain blocks line of fire.

eMouse, that all makes sense. I was having a difficult time wrapping my head around that sentence from the Great Size ability. Thanks for the clarification.
