Ranged attacks, Magic attacks, and some other effects require line of sight from one figure to another figure, or from a figure in one area to another area.

In order for a figure to have line of sight to an area, it must be possible to draw a straight line from a part of the area the figure is in to a part of the other area, without going through a solid barrier. Additionally, line of sight may only go through a border showing the height symbol if the higher of the two areas adjacent to that border is either the area where the figure is, or the area they require line of sight to.

A figure that has line of sight to an area also has line of sight to all figures in that area.

Example 1:

While some of the area the skitterer is in, is blocked from Lunara's view, she can choose any part of the area she is in and any part of the area the skitterer is in to see if she has line of sight. She does, so she may perform a ranged attack against the skitterer.

Example 2:

Lunara may not perform a ranged attack against the skitterer, as the attack would go through an area of a higher level than the area the skitterer is in (as shown by the circled height symbol); she does not have a line of sight to the area containing the skitterer.

Example 3:

Lunara may perform a ranged attack against the skitterer. The line goes through an area of a higher level than the area the skitterer is in, but it does not go through a border showing a height symbol; she has line of sight to the area containing the skitterer.
