[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8209481, member: 2629"] The spell says: [I]You project a phantasmal image of a creature's worst fears. Each creature in a 30-foot cone must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or drop whatever it is holding and become frightened for the duration.[/I] The target does not need to see you in order to have these impacts. If it fails the save, it drops what it is holding and becomes frightened. [I]While frightened by this spell, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move[/I]. This also takes place regardless of whether it can see you. At the start of their next turn, they take the dash action and move away from you by the safest route available, unless there is nowhere (safe) to go. They'll continue to do so until they are no longer frightened by this spell. [I]If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn't have line of sight to you, the creature can make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.[/I] This is the only place where being able to see you matters. If they see you, they get no save and the spell continues as long as you concentrate (up to 1 minute). If they can't see you, because you're invisible, behind a corner, hiding, or whatever other reason, then they get a save to try to end the spell. [/QUOTE]
