[QUOTE="Al'Kelhar, post: 4582349, member: 7884"] This... (is sensible and the way I've always had powers that "block line of sight" in 4E operate). There are numerous inconsistencies in the D&D ruleset. Don't get hung up on the words "blocks line of sight". Even ostensibly clean air blocks line of sight eventually. The question is "am I creating a bank of thick fog?" If so, each square in that fog is heavily obscured from each and every other square (both in and outside the fog). If you want to say that beign in a Stinking Cloud is, for line-of-sight purposes, like being encased in stone, all power to you. But I'm not convinced. [For another glaring inconsistency, powers the create zones or lasting effects vary between "any creature starting their turn in the area is affected" and "any creature starting their turn in the area or entering the area is affected". If the zone or area is shot through with fire, ice and snow, blades of force or whatever, what is the logical difference between starting your turn inside it and moving into it?] Cheers, Al'Kelhar [/QUOTE]
