Speaking of “line of sight,” the game uses the English meaning of the term, which has no special meaning in the rules.Link: <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/sae/sage-advice-compendium#SAC-Adventuring9" target="_blank">https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/sae/sage-advice-compendium#SAC-Adventuring9</a>Now, here's part of the text of the Fear spell:A Frightened creature takes the <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/rules-glossary#DashAction" target="_blank">Dash</a> action and moves away from you by the safest route on each of its turns unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a space where it doesn’t have line of sight to you, the creature makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell ends on that creature.Does this mean all the frightened target has to do is look away from the caster or close its eyes at the end of its turn and it can make the saving throw?</blockquote>
