Great Size. Lines of fire drawn to or from this character are not blocked by elevated terrain or outdoor blocking terrain, and are hindered only if the line of fire is drawn to a square of hindering terrain that includes the target. Protected: Pulse Wave.

THE RIM
A square with a red boundary line running through it with a lower elevation next to it is called “the rim.” A character or square on the rim of elevated terrain can draw a line of fire to, or have a line of fire drawn to it, from a different elevation. A line of fire between different elevations is blocked by:
• Blocking terrain on the lower elevation.
• Elevated terrain of any level higher than the lower elevation, except the square the line of fire is being drawn to or from.
• A Giant or Colossal character.
