Line of Effect

All powers require Line of Effect in order to target a creature, unless they have the Perceptive or Omnitic keywords. To establish Line of Effect, several requirements must be met.

  • A direct, unobstructed path between the source of the effect and the target.
  • Targeted creature cannot be behind a solid wall, around a corner in a dungeon, or on another plane.
  • There must be an uninterrupted line to the origin point of the area (see Areas of Effect for more information)
  • There must be an uninterrupted line between the origin point and any targets in the Area.

Sometimes Line of Effect to a target is partially blocked by objects, structures, or even other creatures (GM's discretion). In this case, the creature has Cover against the attack.
