Technetium figured out a workaround that you can use to approximate elevation, but it's by no means perfect. Basically, you can just tell how many raise/lower terrain increments a unit is standing on, but anything more specific than that (like actual Z distance) is probably impossible to determine.

I guess you can check to see if the attacker's cliff height is > attacked unit's cliff height and give the attacker item bonus damage skill for a second.

Or, as an alternate route.. Go into game constants.. Make ChanceToMiss 50% or something. Makes him miss 50% of the time..

Or another way to do it is make it 100%, and find the place where it allows you to set how much damage a unit does on a miss and change it to like 50%... Of course, I don't remember where that was.
