[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8693883, member: 6987520"] Well, or at least [I]suspect it[/I]... ;) Like I said, I actually checked the weapon myself, but in scanning the last paragraph, just overlooked those few little words amoungst the numbers/distances--which is what I was focused on. 🤷♂️ Excellent questions! 1. can I "throw myself against the wall" and block line of sight between vecna and I using that corner wall? [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]No. I remember looking at the map when it was Selossen's turn and he wanted to get out of line of sight of Vecna--there is no place that does not allow line of sight without resorting to magic. All the squares in yellow border are reachable, for example, with [I]misty step[/I], but only if you risk "the fall" to the next lower tier (orange-border squares) will you be out of line of sight (since you will fall 10 feet down to the next tier). Another [I]possible[/I] option (Ezabard thinks) is to get to the red squares and "duck" below the balcony wall. With the altar, statue, and wall, you might get total cover to block line of sight.[/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" width="765px"]253942[/ATTACH] 2. how much strength do I have left? [B][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Your Strength is 2[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]. Even with disadvantage, the shadows hit you twice for 2 points and 4 points of Strength loss.[/COLOR] 3. If I were to move to the west (triggering an OA from red) where would I take the OA? This is very important because if my shield activates, will Vecna be in line of sight to dispel it? [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]As soon as you try to step out of your current space, you are leaving the shadow's reach and provoking the OA, of course with disadvantage due to the sunblade. ;) FWIW, Vecna has line of sight for the entire hallway, so even if you moved past Selossen to the back square he can see you.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
