Different Levels and Summoning.

[Mawdrigen]

Something that came up yesterday.

Seamus is standing below a platform on which an objective is standing (Stake a claim objective for example). He has no line of sight to the top of the platform.

On the platform is a corpse token.

3 Questions

1) Can He cast arise my sweet and discard the corpse token (I assume yes)

2) Can he summon the Rotten Belle directly above him?

3) If he doesn't want to summon it directly above him can he summon it next to him.

you only measure vertical distances to determine melees and determine heights so you can see over other things and determine shadows

so you would be within 3" of the corpse if he was 3" away measured horizontally

arise doesn't require a target so you may use it.

and you summon within 6" so yes you can place it up there

and you could have it next to you if you wanted

[Mawdrigen]

Sorry one of my fellow players just prompted another question.. With Terraclips it's entirely possible that you might have a 4 layer building (sewers to attic perhaps). Going by the No Vertical measuring rule, Seamus could stand in the Sewers with a corpse and summon a Rotten Belle into the Attic as long as she was within 6" horizontally of him. Is this correct?

I'm under the assumption that you need LoS unless it explicitly says otherwise. Where does it say Seamus can use a corpse counter he can't see?

It might be there, but I don't know it, so I play you need LoS.

[Mergoth]

He doesn't need LOS to the corpse counter, as it doesn't mention "target". If it said "discard target corpse counter...", then yes, he'd need LOS.

Good call.
