It be d'pendin' whether we be indoors 'r outdoors. Outdoors we kin be over th' hill 'r b'hind th' tree 'r anyplace we be choosin'. Indoors 'r undergroun' we be needin' t' be able t' see 'em.

This dinnae be makin' much sense t' me. Th' power fer me spells be comin' from Brell Serilis. 'E should be able t' see 'em no matter where they be runnin' t' unnergroun'.

Hiding casters behind cubbies does nothing since line of sight is not effected by geometry in outdoor zones. A thing that might help is that he is slowable. However, he often dispells himself so you need to recast slow often, however, that might be enough change in damage to make him end up dying

The least you could have done is translate for us first.

It depends whether we are indoors or outdoors. Outdoors we can be over the hill or behind the tree or anywhere you like. Indoors or underground we need to be able to see them.

Incoherent rambling about how indoors shouldn't require LoS cause his God is Brell Serilis.

I'm gonna certified stamp that post "Classic as Fuck". Classic mechanic, roleplaying and excessive use of apostrophes while roleplaying. I bet that was posted from a dial up connection too.

Tin cans and string feller-me-lad, tin cans and string. None o' this fancypants newfangled "modem" crap.

Changes were made to Line of Sight on Live here:

Line of Sight Changes:
For spells that require Line of Sight (LoS), the LoS check is now at the beginning of the spellcast, not the end.
Spells that require but do not have of LoS will now fail immediately.
Harmful spells require LoS.
Most Beneficial spells still do not require LoS.
Bind Sight type spells do not require LoS.
Any beneficial spell containing a Cancel Magic component requires LoS.

Hate to be the one to say this Dald, but in that Eqcleric post from 2000 that you used, you can see two of the clerics wondering whats up with this LOS on every nuke.
(funny that you picked that thread, one of the clerics in that thread is me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] being upset about the LOS changes on our dd spells )
