Fears Given Form and LOS

[trikk]

Do you need to have LoS to the FGF carrier to be required to test? The wording "within this models engagement range" is confusing. I`d say you don`t have to but we have mixed answers.

You're right, LoS isn't required. Being within engagement range and being engaged are two different things.

As it is written Line of Sight isn't required. I have always played it as requiring LoS as it looks like an unintended oversight to me. That's completely unbased in the rules though.

Is there some precedence or some general statement by Wyrd for this? The rules on Page 35 say, that you always neede LoS to your target unless the actions says differently. For me the part "within this models engagement range" is only a description for the range of the action. It says nothing about ignoring LoS, so I would assume it is needed.

Fears given form doesn't target anything. It describes which area it affects and you are within engagement range as long as one of the models attacks could reach you if measured ignoring LoS  (you aren't engaged unless you have LoS however).

Edit: re-read what you meant
