Q. If a model drawing LoS and range through another model (from an Ability such as Ice Mirror) takes the Interact Action to Drop a Scheme Marker into base contact with itself, can it drop that Marker in base contact with the model it is drawing LoS and range through?
A. No. The Marker is dropped in base contact with the model taking the Action, not the model from which LoS and range are drawn.
Q. Carve a Path – Can a model drawing LoS and range from another object within 1" of a Strategy Marker in Carve a Path take the Interact Action to Push that Strategy Marker?
A. Yes, the model is considered within 1" of the Strategy Marker for the purposes of that Interact Action, however the model’s physical position on the board does not change. It therefore would not be considered within range of any Auras, Terrain, or effects within range of the object it is drawing LoS from (unless the model’s base was also within range of those effects). For example, if Rasputina used Ice Mirror to Interact with a Strategy Marker in Carve a Path and that Ice Pillar was inside a Pyre Marker, Rasputina would not suffer the effects of the Hazardous Terrain.
Q. If a model would place an object “anywhere within range” of an Action, does it need to have LoS to that range?
A. Yes. The range of an Action includes LoS. The Sz of the object being Placed (or Dropped) “within range” is treated as Sz 0 for the purpose of determining if the model can Place that object in its LoS. The only exception to this is if a model is Placing itself, it does not need LoS. For example, Rasputina (Sz 2) could not take the Ice Pillars Action to Create an Ice Pillar (Ht 4) on the opposite side of a Ht 2 wall unless she can draw a sightline to the Created Ice Pillar that does not cross the wall. Similarly, if Euripides (Sz 4) takes the Rune-Etched Ice Action, he can only put the Created Ice Pillar (Ht 4) on the opposite side of a Ht 2 wall if the Marker is not in the wall’s shadow.
