See, this is kind of goofballs to me...this means if I have a three-meter manaball and cast it into a doorway, it'll extend 3m front and back, but to the doorframes sideways on the far side of the door? The very idea of an area of effect spell at least to me implies that I'm not having to make individual tests against each person in that area, so the idea that I CAN'T hit out-of-sight targets on an area-of-effect spell seems rather backwards. If the spell requires me to be able to see all targets for some type of...mental focus or whatevernot on them, either it should: a) ...hit all targets within the range, regardless of line of sight, or... b) ...require a modifier for each target I'm hitting, as I'm forced to "concentrate" on every person to include them...as they're in my line of sight. Something I'm missing here, that makes more sense? |
