spawning in LoS of a monkey

By BigYogi, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

hi,

i hate the search function here....really....so i found now answer to this question:

can the OL spawn in LoS of a hero transformed to a monkey?

thanks,

BigYogi

No, he canĀ“t. It is still a hero with all consequences.

****.... 4 XP less for me...

thought it's not a hero anymore, just a marker, like all the familiars, and so i can spawn.....

Actually, the rules concerning who generates LoS are not tied to being figures versus being tokens. The rules simply state that all heroes generate LoS. The fact that all heroes are figures (normally) is completely independent of this fact. The familiars (except Boggs) do not generate LoS because they aren't heroes, but again this has nothing to do with the fact that they aren't figures. When a hero is tranformed into a monkey it explicitly changes the rules concerning movement and actions, it does not change the rules concerning LoS. The monkey is still a hero even if he isn't a figure, therefore he generates LoS.
