Height discussion

By colinw94, in Star Wars: Legion

Do we know what effects height will have in the game? Elevation advantages for example? Fall damage? LOS advantages?

id like to start work on a table that has many changes in elevation and want to know the gameplay effects before I get too far.

I'm pretty sure that falls more than Hight 1 cause damage. I'd also assume hight is factored into range... Although it may not ever be much of a factor given the fairly long ranges for weapons.

I also have some confusion on how high height one actually is. In the team covenant video it seemed they measured with the movement template but people here keep saying it's "range 1"

We have seen some stuff about climbing. Luke can also jump up to height 1. It could just be for movement but I am hoping it goes a bit further, maybe something like if a unit is more than 1 height above then it ignores cover. Or something like that.

What do we know about climbing? I hadn't seen that yet

In the TC video they used the range ruler to measure height one. That makes Height 1 6 inches.

What we know is what is given on the AT-RT unit card.

Normally only troopers can climb vertically.

Clambering is a movement form that has you roll defense dice and take damage, unless you have the expert climber keyword.
