LOE does not require LOS, so a caster would have LOE around the corner. This is what allows healing word to be applied around a corner and spirit companions to appear in the next room (if the door is opened). The PHB and DMB both say that the key for LOE is that there is an unblocked path from the origin (the caster of a close burst) and the target space. They do describe tracing a "line". I can see some ambiguity in that word, because perhaps "line" implies "straight line", but they do not use the word "straight", and they do use the word "path", so the context does not suggest adding the word "straight" to the interpretation (unless there is some other ruling somehwere else that uses the word "straight" with LOE).</p></blockquote><p></p>
