You can model being "present" in many directions by altering the facing rules, as is done with snakes. Longer reach could be done with two-hex melee attacks, like most polearms. If you try to show ability to turn and strike with multihex figures, it's a very rough fit at best. |

Re: Is a Long Lankin multihex?
I like the Long Lankin long and lanky... tall 1-hex figure, but give them reach beyond their adjacent hexes.

Re: Is a Long Lankin multihex?
A figure of such intermediate "1.5-hex" size might be considered to orient and move as a longside- facing 2-hex creature, while noted by having its standard 1-hex marker positioned centered on the two hexes' common hexside, instead of within a hex. In this case, the outlying hexes at either shortside end may be considered nonadjacent to the figure for engagement and attacking purposes; leaving FFF facing hexes against its frontal longside, with SRS facing hexes behind.
This just addresses its possible mapping layout. Last edited by Droll; 03-04-2021 at 09:21 AM. |

Re: Is a Long Lankin multihex?
That is an interesting application and I can see it for a few other types, like a TFT version of the Roper

Re: Is a Long Lankin multihex?
Since he was "lanky", I fought him as 1 hex.

But then I don't see any clear correlation between weight and number of hexes in TFT either. |

ITL 66 -> "the average 3-hex figure might weigh up to a ton" It does depend on density. A man sized iron elemental weighs half a ton, but is clearly a one-hex figure.

But that description of a roper also says that it's three to four feet across at the base. Maybe it's just me, but I'd think that's more relevant for number of hexes than its weight. |
