@Cynthia:
Pg. 184 in SR4A says
"If an area-effect spell is sustained, the affected area may be moved
with a Complex Action, as long as it remains within line of sight.
Characters who 'drop out' of the affected area are no longer affected
by the spell; characters who are 'enveloped' by the area must defend
against the effects of the spell as appropriate"

.
The above quote is from the last game when I was asking about the mass sight removal and interrogating the troll. So how is this situation different?

Just I based my action on your above quote and ruling so I'm curious.

Ok, I see what you're saying now.  I still think that a target of the spell needs to be in LOS with you, not just the center of the area, but still it would affect the second group of cops as soon as they appeared, so i'll roll resist for them and then we'll edit some posts to fix everything as soon as Vis Cas is  up.

[Walks Through Walls]

So I agree that once the target is out of sight the spell deactivates, but can or would the cop even get completely out of the line of sight?

[inca1980]

Once the mystic link has been formed then even if the target goes out of LOS he's still affected.  So Cops 1 & 2 are still affected as long as they're in the area and then Cops 3&4 get affected as soon as they become LOS and have to resist. 

@Walks&Mercedes:

Ok the post has been modified.  Mercedes just use your first defense roll.  Walks should roll defense now.  Don't forget sustaining modifier.

@B.B.:
Just to clean up the IC thread why don't you remove your last post.

[Walks Through Walls]

OK that is what I was hoping to do. Only one question the second shot on walks the dice pool is reduced to 0 so how did he manage 2 hits? You have a dice pool of 7 and he is at -7 from the spell.

I'll make my rolls for the first shot and if I'm not wrong then I'll edit in rolls against the second shot.

Done.

@Walks:
You're right and I just edited it.

@Fastjack:

We almost got it right!  Kontacts right about the Gymnastics full defense so you'll need to use edge if you wanna dodge.

[FastJack]

Okay... Hopefully it all works out.

[Walks Through Walls]

So are we all in the kitchen at this point? Walks Through Walls would have been maintaining the spell and sight on the doorway.

[inca1980]

@Walks:
Yeah  you're right, so to be specific, everyone is in the kitchen (i'll just assume woofer also did the same maneuver as Mercedes by crawling while prone) and then Walks is behind the cover of the couch keeping her eyes on the doorway. 

[Walks Through Walls]

Don't forget that means that anyone coming into the doorway will be effected by my spell.

Also as soon as I see anyone I'll be casting mass sight removal to try and make them totally useless in a shootout.

[inca1980]

@Walks:

Yeah, they totally would have to resist the hot potato spell....I just introduced them for drama in the Angel monologue, forgot you were at the couches...and then it flipped me up when I had to put you in the couches again....sorry for that.  So they didn't see you anways, but i'll roll the resist for the spell for any other ones which might get in LOS.

[Walks Through Walls]

No problem. It happens to me when at the table top at times and there isn't the lag that PbP tends to have to make it more complected to keep track of.

[Walks Through Walls]

Quick question. Since the spell was resisted does it still form a circle that others would have to resist when they enter or is it useless?

[inca1980]

Yeah as long as you're sustaining it.
