Line of Sight
Line of Sight (LOS) is an imaginary line that extends from a player’s eyes to a target.
- In order to use abilities, the caster must have at least a partial LOS to their target at the end of the incantation.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
See “ Casting” to learn how line of sight plays a part in casting abilities.
