What if you're a Cleric casting Bane?
It's an area effect spell - you could cast it while blind, and it would have no effect on who is affected (unlike a targeted spell, where you must see or touch and select who is affected).
But it affects all enemies in the area.
If the gnoll who killed your father in front of your eyes is present in the area, but invisible - and you don't know he's there - is he affected?
If the elf who killed your mother - so secretly that nobody ever knew about his obsession with wiping your family off the face of the earth - is present in the area, smiling politely while, unbeknowst to you, he gets ready to stab you in the back... is he affected?
Can you also decide who is an 'opponent' and who is not?
If you're a druid summoning a Dire Boar, it will immediately attack your opponents to the best of its ability. You can only direct it to attack (or not) particular enemies if you can communicate with it... and in this example, you haven't cast Speak With Animals.
If you want it to avoid the goblin bodyguards and go straight for the hobgoblin adept, can you just decide that the goblins are not opponents, but the adept is? Since the boar automatically attacks your opponents, does this mean it will go straight for the hobgoblin, even though the goblins are closer?
Or is 'opponent' something you can't decide, the way 'enemy' is?
