Line of Sight

Line of Sight (LOS) is an imaginary line that extends from a player’s eyes to a target.

1. In order to use abilities, the caster must have at least a partial LOS to their target at the end of the incantation.
   • The target being out of sight at any other point does not prevent or interrupt the casting attempt.
   • A caster has partial line of sight if they are able to see any amount of the target, including their carried equipment, garb, etc.
   
   
2. Players cannot obscure themselves with their own carried items, but they can obscure other players.
   • For example, a player can use their tower shield or cloak to block LOS to an ally.
   
   
3. Unattended and Destroyed equipment does not block line of sight in-game, even if it is actually obscuring the target in real life. For example, a tower shield propped up against a tree would not obscure in-game LOS to someone hiding behind it, even if they are legitimately hidden from view in real life.


4. Since Line of Sight is entirely subjective and nearly impossible to verify, players are expected to be honest and act in good faith when judging their own LOS.
