--Sandpoint Families--

the original settlers of Sandpoint are Flan (instead of Varisian) and the Mercantile League families are Oeridian and Suel. the conflict at the founding of Sandpoint may be analogous to foundation of Keoland, where Oeridian and Suel families fought with/dislocated native Flan.

exception is the Kaijitsu family. i've found their origin too much oriental influenced for greyhawk tastes so in my campaign they are called the Kahraldin Family, immigrants from the foreign and exotic lands of the Bakluni (middle eastern flavor), instead of Minkai (far eastern flavor).

here are the converted races and religion of the four families to Greyhawk ones, according to flavor and the race/religion combinations natural to Keoland:

bump?

in the description of ''line of effect,'' it says:

Line of Effect: A line of effect is a straight, unblocked path that indicates what a spell can affect. A line of effect is canceled by a solid barrier. It's like line of sight for ranged weapons, except that it's not blocked by fog, darkness, and other factors that limit normal sight.

so, does this mean i can cast a sleep spell while standing inside an obscuring mist, to an area that i cannot see? or cast a fireball from inside darkness, to a designated spot on the field?

i know you can't aim a spell that requires a target, but for area spells that do not require a target, is it possible to aim a spot on the field that the caster cannot see?

for ranged attacks, attacking someone you can't see but guess, thus attacking the square that you suppose your enemy stands, has %50 miss chance (total concealment). does or should this have anything to do with aiming a spell blindly?
