Title: How to model firing over intervening terrain at different levels?
Post by: Schogun on August 01, 2021, 09:03:10 PM

Firing up or down over terrain taking into account relative height and position of the terrain.

What rules handle this best without getting overly mathematical?

Thanks

I've done it as either adding or taking away between a half and a third of the respective height difference between the target and the shooter.

The simplest way is to just measure the actual distance. That should usually give pretty reliable results. But otherwise, it can become difficult because outside of going for a simple Pythagoras, you get wonky systems where you add the height or things like that.
