Charge from elevation

[le_sphinx]

Hey guys,

Yesterday I had a situation with charge from elavation.

So how it should be resolved in general? Does it work the same way as model climbing during charge? So the model need to go down and then go straight forward to its target?

 

The picture from my situation is in attached files. So Sybelle (marked red) would like to charge Belle (marked blue). If she should go down at first and go straight after, it is impossible, because she has to step on Necropunk (marked green). Let's consider that the only one straight way to Belle is to go through Necropunk. Can she charge Belle or not?

The only concern that charging has for elevation is how much movement you're spending on getting up/down. You still can't move through other models or change direction mid-charge.

If you can not follow a straight path (in 2 dimensions) and end engaged with the model, then you can not charge. So if she can't climb down in a straight line because it would land her on the necropunk, then she can't charge

Nope. She can't go straight through the Necropunk. Dropping down doesn't cost any movement but you still can't move through a model.

It's hard to tell from the angle of the picture but it looks like Sybelle should be able to charge to the left side of the Necropunk and still end up within two inches (I think that's Sybelle's engagement range) of the Belle while still moving in a straight line.

@santaclaws01 @Adran @WWHSD thanks guys! Got the answer!

It also depends on what the height of that porch is.   If's its only ht 1, Sybelle can't charge because she is engaged.  If it's Ht 2, she is not engaged so she can charge.
