Frostgrave - Rules

[The Professor]

Hi Joe

Any suggestions for rules on fighting while climbing up or down a wall?  Is it possible? Or do they have to wait until they reach the ground or top?

One of my opponents soldiers was climbing down a wall (also carrying a treasure by the way) claimed that it was possible. Since I wanted my hands on the treasure, I had to disagree.
 
Once again thanks making Frostgrave

We play that models can "hang" from walls at any height, and can also fight/shoot as normal, due to all the hand-holds & ruined nature of the walls.

I would say they can fight as long as they are not using a weapon in each hand, a two handed weapon, or a shield. I just don't see how someone who is climbing could use both hands to fight.

Just played a game with a lot of "fighting whilst half way up a wall" (or in this case, a pillar). We played that you could fight as normal - and the pushback for success enabled you to push the opponent off the wall if you wished. It worked well, seemed fair and produced great entertainment.

How do you play the base resource: summoning circle? Since the description says "the wizard may attempt..." I assume it is for the wizard only? Or does the apprentice get to use it too?

It's Wizard only. Wording for Wizard/Apprentice is usually "Spellcaster" or "Wizard or apprentice".

This is stated in the rule book in Chapter Four "Spells", "Notes on Definitions":

In order to reduce confusion as much as possible, the term ‘spellcaster’ has been used to indicate that a spell may be cast by either a wizard or his apprentice. Some spells, such as Absorb Knowledge, may only be cast by a wizard.

Seems fair, cheers ScREaM!

I'm sure this has been answered but I can't get a good combination of search terms to find the answer.

If I cast push trying to move my own models around, do I roll defense as normal, or can my own models kind of... go with the flow and let themselves get pushed? For example, if my Wizard targets my Barbarian with Push and I successfully cast, do I roll both the attack roll for my Wizard and defense roll for the Barbarian?

Thanks for any help!

There's nothing I could find in either the main rules or Push to seem to allow a model to not roll to defend against any attack roll, so we've always played you have to roll.

You can try and push your own model, but you must roll the attack same as any target.

Has anyone tried compiling the info here? Quite a task!!! But this is a fountain of knowledge.

1st post in this thread, and Joe updates it when he gets the time.

This is the way we've been playing it. Thanks for the confirmation.

Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find a phrasing in the search function that would allow a manageable number of hits.  If "Wall" or "Fog" are cast in a space less than their width (say between two ruins 2" apart) what happens?  Does the wall/fogbank end at the terrain feature, or does it continue on inside the feature to it's full width?

[joe5mc]

Barking Monkey, technically, it continues on. Although most people don't bother to play it that way.
