 Like monsters, most of your attacks cannot harm targets outside your LOS. For example, [[ranged weapon]]s only shoot up to your LOS, your [[summon]]s cannot attack if either them or their target are out of sight, and any [[cloud]]s you create vanish when leaving sight. There are a few exceptions; an incomplete list is displayed below:
 *Many types of "explosion" attacks: [[Damnation]], [[Fireball]], [[Fire Storm]], [[Iceblast]], [[Inner Flame]], [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]] (cannot hit on the other side of a wall), [[tin of tremorstones]].

-===Altering LOS===
+There are a few ways to increase or reduce your line of sight:
 * A [[scarf]] of shadows reduces LOS by 1.
 * The [[Robe of Night]] reduces LOS by 25%, with your LOS rounded down.
 * [[Kobold]]s start with rank 3 of [[Nightstalker]], reducing LOS by 3 tiles to 4 spaces (9x9 square).
 * [[Barachim]] have an innate mutation that increases their default LOS by 1, to a total of 8 spaces (17x17 square).

-Because LOS is square, exploring in a diagonal direction will reveal more tiles than exploring in a cardinal one (all else equal). If you want to find an [[Abyss]] exit or uncover the most tiles for [[Meteoran]] regeneration, move diagonally.
