Couldn't think up a title so just used the example...
In our games our DM has always said if you use a spell or a ranged weapon to attack somebody, you must have direct line of sight to see them (ok thats fine) but if a teammate is in the way, that classes as they are blocking it and you cannot see...
I'm curious how you do it.. Say you are in a 5ft wide 50ft long corridor. At the front of the party is the Paladin, he is fighting an orc, behind the orc a goblin.
Now if you was 20ft away from the Paladin and had a longbow, could you shoot the orc or the goblin?
With how our DM plays it would be a no, because the paladin is in the way, but I read a similar example where somebody said you could hit them.
I'm assuming you "can" because you could shoot around the Paladin, or over, or even under I guess if you was a good enough Archer. But the goblin would get concealment? or something like that?
