| Feb 23, 2020 at 4:34 | comment | added | Ira | Either way, re: dupe, yes that thread answers the question, but "line of sight" is really confusing, and should use "clear path to target" instead, since that's the language in the rulebook, and people will search for that. And it really buries the lede. But for personal reasons, I don't care any more because my question is answered. :) | |
| Feb 23, 2020 at 4:33 | comment | added | Ira | @Someone_Evil Thanks for the nice reply. I understand. I guess perhaps the tone can just be a little rough when you come back to your thread and at the top it says "CLOSED! Bad job!" I think it can be a turn-off for new users. Maybe it's just a messaging thing, and you can make it a more friendly note. "Thanks for posting a question, but because we want to ensure blah blah... and we can open it up again really quickly once you correct this. Thank you!" | |

| Feb 22, 2020 at 20:56 | comment | added | Exempt-Medic | @Someone I think the difference in the question is line of sight vs line of effect (clear path). Though the answer to the line of sight question also addresses the line of effect (clear path) aspect | |
| Feb 22, 2020 at 20:49 | comment | added | Someone_Evil♦ | @Ira We know about the harshness of it (it has been much discussed on the network), but we prefer to close quickly to prevent malplaced answers coming in. Our capacity to close and reopen quickly is often much higher than a single users ability to edit their question, so this is to prevent unclear (or otherwise problematic) question lying around in the open, or answers which aren't for the intended, productive question to come in. | |
| Feb 22, 2020 at 20:43 | comment | added | Ira | @Someone_Evil Thanks for the suggestion. Just FYI, in case you're interested in the perspective of a new user, if you immediately shut the thread down before giving ~24 hours to fix the error, it can come across as a little harsh. I realize you're just trying to maintain standards, which I appreciate, but I think giving people a little time to react can be useful. Either way, I've edited it, so hopefully you can open it again and answer the question properly. The link you provided mentions line of sight, but basically answers the question. I think my setup is more clear, and doesn't use LoS. | |

| Feb 22, 2020 at 19:30 | comment | added | Exempt-Medic | A related question that might answer parts of yours: "Does a touch-range spell cast using Find Familiar have to have line of sight from the caster?" | |
