Line of Sight and Adjacent Spaces
Q: Line of sight is blocked when it "passes through the edge of a map tile, a door, or a blocked space" or "passes along the edge of a blocked space". Some people argue that it is not explicitly blocked if it passes along the edge of a map tile or a door, even though the topology is almost identical. Are you allowed to fire along a wall, but not past a figure or obstacle? A:...The actual answer is that you cannot trace line of sight along the edge of a map tile or along the edge of a blocked space... (1) Q: When counting range for an attack, is there any difference between spaces containing figure and obstacle-spaces? Is counting through obstacles forbidden? A: Figures are not considered obstacles by the rules [when counting spaces for attack range or skills], so you could count through those spaces but not through obstacles. (1)
[Note: Don't confuse counting spaces with drawing line of sight - Spaces containing figures cannot have line of sight drawn through them per the Line of Sight rules on page 12 of the Rulebook] Q: In regards to attribute tests in secret rooms, the special rules on two cards read "if he passes, he may search 1 challenge token in this room without performing an action". Is this irrespective of adjacency to the challenge token or does adjacency still apply? A: In this particular case, adjacency would not be necessary. (1) Q: Do the thick black borders on the outside edges of the tiles prevent line of sight from being traced to/from them, or in the case of single points at corners, through them? Here's the image people are arguing about, wondering whether the north Villager and/or the south Villager have line of sight to the Flesh Moulder:
A: The answer is that it's a yes to both. The wall there is still considered to be a shared corner that line of sight can be traced to, from, and through. (1) Q: Can you confirm the Line of Sight examples in the following diagram, where red lines do not have LoS and blue lines do have LoS:
A: (Confirmed by Justin per (1))
