Csonti Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 The Pigapult's attack ignores LoS when declaring a target. What happens when the target is in a forest: does the Pork Barrage ignores obscuring terrain (or hard cover from a wall, or anything like that) as well?

0 Hookers Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 when i've proxied it we played it that it does not ignore cover. i kind of assumed it did, but nothing actually says that it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ropetus Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Everything that ignores LoS, also ignores cover. Otherwise it would not be a very useful ability as anything you ignore LoS to is practically always in cover from you as well (because most of the time they are blocked by terrain). This can come up with Sonnia Criid and Guild Austringers as well. -Ropetus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vinncent Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Ignore LoS, but cover applies; it is as if sensing the location of his victim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shank Seamus! Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 It's artillery, so I would say it ignores cover. Walls, bushes and similar 2d scenery isn't gonna do much from something falling from the sky on you.. unless by cover you mean the Target is in a building, what with buildings having roofs an all.. SS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 CubertFarnsworth Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 How about the Middle of the Storm for SnowStorm? Would that be ignored as well? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Frost Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 So, if the Pigapult ignores LoS, then it can hit anything in range, even things indoors or in buildings? In fact, can't it be in the basement of a building and ripping into you as you try to get down there? The blocking trait only blocks LoS, not strikes (as they only require range and LoS, the latter of which is circumvented). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or be in a closed building shooting out!!! Thank the maker it only has Cb 4!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mr. Bigglesworth Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Also you can house rule against it if you want. Malifaux just doesn't seem big on closed locations. Keep in mind an 200 point piglet launched 100 feet is going to plow through most structures available in malifaux. Now an 80 lbs gremlins who like fire might not be qble to though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank the maker it only has Cb 4!!! No more broken then an entire crew that pretty much just ignores terrain all together, I absolutely hate Kirai.
