Teleport clarification

[Fentum]

This is a very simple question, I hope!

Do you need LOS to the target 'end' zone when casting teleport, and/or using the Blue Gremlin ability?

Specifically, can it teleport into a zone behind a wall of thorns?

In an odd twist, you need to be able to see anything you target, but not just moving.

Basically, the Teleport requires targets, and multiples, so it needs LOS.

A normal move does not require LOS, and so the teleporting Blue Gremlin, would not.  He can just walk through.

The teleport method of "movement" does not require line of sight. So Blue Gremlin and Teleport Trap and Divine Intervention can cause a change in location even if there is a wall in the way.

The incantation spell Teleport is a special case, though. It targets both the creature and the zone, and you need LoS to target. Wall of Thorns blocks LoS, so it can prevent the Teleport spell the same as it would any other spell that targets a Zone.

Hugan, who flys, never has LoS blocked by walls, though. So if Hugan casts the teleport, you will be able to target zones on the far side of the wall.

That is VERY cool. I thought that the teleport spell needs LOS, but I vaguely remembered reading a post about Gremlins 'ignoring' walls. Now it makes sense that the Gremlin is taking a move action.

That's good news for the nefarious wall, push, gremlin, Huginns tactics I am trying out.

Mwah hah hah!
