[QUOTE="Eldritch_Lord, post: 6202836, member: 52073"] The SRD rules on line of effect are as follows: So unless noted otherwise, you [I]must[/I] have line of effect to an area to affect it with an effect and line of effect is blocked by solid barriers, and even if you consider it a spread it can only go around corners, not through walls. The default rule is that LoE is required and the rules for going around cover are specific to spreads, so unless an aura is specifically defined as a spread it would not affect targets with cover relative to the point of origin. If you want it to be one or the other, though, auras are not specifically defined as emanations, but because emanations are effects that "continue to radiate from the point of origin for the duration of the [ability]" I'd rule it as an emanation for most purposes. That is correct, but the issue is already taken care of by the LoE rules. [/QUOTE]
