This is correct. Since you do not have to declare which way you are facing, you can theoretically see everything. Why you ask? So that you have options when it's your turn as there are no rules for turning to face something.

As i have never looked it up i will take your word for it. Thank you. I DMed you. I'm not sure if i was supposed to ask for permission or not. Either way, this conversation has been the best part of my day. :cool:

They are the same thing in the literal context. D&D is a game with rules and abstractions.

You don't have to be looking at something to have line of sight. The squares just need to have a straight unobstructed line to one another.

You are conflating LOS with facing. Why? There are no (non optional) rules for facing.

Which is why specific beats general. Sometimes you just have to trust your DM. There are no rules for how many times you have to chew something before you can swallow it. (general) You must chew a chicken nugget 28 times before you can swallow it. (specific) D&D is a fantasy game, you can't...

You pick a target within range and then declare your intentions. That's it. That's how "facing" works. Just when i think i was out....they pull me back in!!!

I've read them all.....its just people making the same argument over and over. :ROFLMAO:

The rules don't know what direction you are facing. That's why there are no rules for facing. Now for real...i am out.

Once again. I do not have rules books with me or memorized. Read the rules for sneak attack and flanking. Neither if them use the words facing or behind. Since in all cases specific overrides general there would need to be a specific rule regarding front/back/side facings and there is not. If...

So you are citing the "Hide Action" and not a rule labeled "facing"? It's the middle of the work day where I am and i don't carry game reference books around with me (i don't even bring the DMG to games) so you'll have to excuse me for that. A creature has a 360 field of view and anything it can...

Not all of us have access to the digital version of the book. Pardon us.

Does post 359 have a book title and page number?

No one moved the post. If you can show us the rule on how facings work, we'll use it.

Can you point to the rules in the 2024 books on facing?

Complain all you want....this is the internet. Opinions abound. Just know that every time a complaint is posted, it spawns 10 other complaints. Some of those complaints masquerade as opinions, or critiques or "just askings" or "just sayins". Come on in, the water is warm. 🥳

Canasta!!!

The only constant is change my friends.
