[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 4791341, member: 27897"] A & B depend on what the power being used says. Some effects make the effected square create concealment within them, but block line of sight beyond them. Some effects allow the caster to see normally, so line of sight isn't blocked for him. It's situational. C) If you can draw a line from a corner of the origin square to a corner of the target square, without passing through the effect that is blocking line of sight, then the target has concealment rather than line of sight actually being blocked. If the effect that would ordinarily block line of sight is solid in this situation, then the target has cover rather than concealment. D) Can't say that I've read anything regarding sustaining of effects. I would say that line of effect would be needed, but not necessarily line of sight. Perhaps someone else has a credible source? E) see above. [/QUOTE]
