The passive benefit on the Silent Whisper's Message allows you to not need a straight line of effect when casting it. That doesn't also apply to the reaction/free action the target can take to respond, does it?
At 3rd level, Message heightens to 500ft range. Is it fair to assume the Psychic passive benefit applies with that 500ft range or is that benefit limited to 120ft range?
I always assumed that all of the benefits applied to both the full range and towards responses.
Same. That’s how we play it, but I thought I’d ask to be sure. The range seems only natural to update with the heightened effect, but I’m a bit unsure on the responses. The no line of effect/sight benefit states it applies to cast Message. I just don’t know if that’s enough to cover the response options since it’s not you casting Message at that instance. My gut says it should though just for simplicity’s sake.
