Makes sense to me. Bumping just once to see if anyone responds in favor of an alternative interpretation.

I have a player who is interested in using Lock Gaze and the shadowdancer Hide in Plain Sight feature to hinder opponents while remaining hidden from the target of the spell.

His point of view is that they will be forced to look at him but will not recognize his presence where they are looking (in the way that camouflage can work). It's creative but I'm not sure if that's RAI, so I'm looking at RAW.

Since the spell says that the effect ends once your line of sight to the target or the target's line of sight to you is broken, I think it comes down to the question in the subject: Does hiding block line of sight for observers?

This post (and thread) asks that question, with no direct response. I'm inclined to agree that it does break line of sight (but not necessarily line of effect) from any observers who fail vs. the stealth check.

Ciaren, Our group meets up regardless of attendance, and I'm ok with makeup sessions, but I'm just wondering about bonus sessions for players in addition to their regular attendance.

Thanks for your sharing your experience Bill. I agree with people deserving more xp, but I just think that these side quests would be more fun done with other players present, so everyone would be able to watch it unfold live, and have the potential of interacting with what's happening. In games that I run, players can leave the party for their own whims but we just do that during the regular sessions and just take turns between each slice of the party.

I guess it's fine either way, every GM is different. I was just looking for other perspectives, and I'm glad you both responded. Thanks!

I am playing in a session with a group on the larger side - a group of 6 players. The GM is offering opportunities for the players to play in bonus sessions between the regular biweekly sessions for xp, in small groups or solo. He insists that he will keep an eye on the xp levels and will keep people from getting too far ahead from the group.

But, I feel like it's going to hurt the group's camaraderie and make players that don't do these bonus sessions feel like they are secondary characters. Has anyone been in a group that did this? If so, did you do the bonus sessions? Also, was it fun for you?
