Line of Sight Dispute

[jeffd1830]

StayPuft,

I know this has been posted elsewhere, but for the sake of those reading along in this thread I just wanted to repeat Jason C. Hill's official answer on Line of Sight from September 18, 2007:

Quote:When checking for Line of Sight, you do not need to worry about center of space to center of space. You can either see a space or not (because it is on a grid, you can count out the squares). In the upcoming expanded FAQ/Errata on the official website, there will be an additional diagram to help out with odd situations.

As for the Truck, it does not officially block sight (if you want to make a house rule you may, but as written, only walls block sight).

(The reference to the Truck is because a poster in that same thread suggested that the Truck in "Escape in the Truck" may block line of sight.)

So it isn't center-to-center, and he says "Because it is on a grid you can count out the squares." So when you say "I tend to think you still wouldn't be able to see that zombie, but you could argue maybe at the right angle, you could see it around the corner of your building" I am inclined to think this doesn't matter in Rules as Written (though using your own house rules, by all means!), but according to Jason it doesn't seem to be a point-to-point Line of Sight, it rather has to do with counting squares of movement somehow. He is a bit vague. And, I don't see that he has ever produced the promised diagram. :-)
