Spring Attack and line of sight

[rvalle]

Do you have to have line of sight to your opponent to spring attack them?

ie wraith cannot spring attack from another room through a wall and then back through
the wall again as a tactic. Or you move around a corner decide to spring attack first person
you see, even though you couldnt see them from where you initially were.

Just want to point out that the wall needs to be thinner then the wraith is. It also can only detect creatures that are adjacent to them.

An incorporeal creature can enter or pass through solid objects, but must remain adjacent to the object’s exterior, and so cannot pass entirely through an object whose space is larger than its own. It can sense the presence of creatures or objects within a square adjacent to its current location, but enemies have total concealment (50% miss chance) from an incorporeal creature that is inside an object.

I too am interested in this question. Last game we had a Bard Spring Attacking into a room though a doorway and around the corner of that doorway. So, he didn't have LOS into the room to know where the bad guy was. I thought about calling him on this but let it go.

Do other attacks require you to mention what your are doing first. Ie Fullround attack.
If i attack a monster and kill it with my first hit can i decide to move 30ft even though my
initial intention was to use all my attacks and maybe take a 5ft step? Isn't this something
I have to announce to the DM beforehand?

If so wouldnt that be the same with spring attack?

Im DMing so, im happy to spring attack all day, but the situation may come up down the track when a player has blink ring and spring attack, they could also use the same tactic.
And of course it would be fine.

Being able to spring attack doesn't negate anyone elses attacks. since you have mobility, you will have a +4 vs AoO's as you are moving.

On another note, could you use spring attack if in Mithril Full Plate and have taken the Armored Savant Fighter replacement level which reduces the armor 1 catagory.

Except for AoOs from the target of your Spring Attack.
