surrounded in a pit, what now?

By Stillborn, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

I have a heroe in a bit, and then I surround him, is he stuck in the pit until his friends kill a moster?

Can he fight a monster? I know he has no line of sight, but can't he pay 2 movement to climb out, fight/kill someone and take there spot?

For that matter, can he open a door from a pit? what happens if I play 2 pits infront of a door in a hallway?

There has to be some mechanic to let them out of this situation..

Regards,

SB

There is. FAQ Pg 1
Pits and Line of Sight
Figures in a pit can see into the spaces adjacent to the pit. This prevents a problem from occurring with the Grapple ability.

Therefore he can fight a monster.

Opening doors doesn't even require LOS to the Door. DJitD pg 13 (sic)heroes can open doors... only if their figure is located in a space adjacent to a door’s closed position (including diagonals). No mention of LOS. Although now the FAQ has clarified that pitted figures have LOS to adjacent squares even if opening doors would require LOS it wouldn;t make any difference.

Excellent, those are good rules, I need to read that faq, thanks for the heads up!

cheers
