I really enjoy what Dynamic Lighting (DL) adds to the game. I don't think that the base functionality needs changing, but the following suggestion could be an enhancement. Likely there would need to be some rules/special tools for creating the geometry to do this. But, clearly, you know how to calculate the equations for lines tangent to objects/lines/points for the line of site calculations. Here is an over-simplified town or fort map with some trees/stump. In fort battles, it's nice to be able to hide troops behind buildings. What if you wish to climb onto a building and do some Ranger-sniping? What if there are enemy troops already on the buildings shooting at you? These are more challenging to handle. For instance, the buildings and trunks will block line of sight (LOS). It is easy and fast to set this up. And obviously the impact of the DL is below. But what are those big squares? Oh, they're buildings. Is there anything on top of them? Is that a tree? Anyway, I think that it would at least be nice to see the artwork. This would be an improved outcome of an enhanced DL tool. It may need to be an enclosed polygon tool. But the front side of the polygon is not obscured. Only the back side is obscured. Maybe it needs to be a convex polygon, but it should be straight forward enough to tell where the tangent points are and which lines are "in front" and which are "in back". The ones in back have things obscured. In fact, if one is within the polygon (on top of the building), there is no longer a "back line" and everything should be visible...at least until the next level of things that obscure vision. Of course if you place a token on the roof, they will only be able to see the roof with current DL and nothing else. This effect was created by using partial enclosures, but it is very positional-specific and may work in some situations. I get that "being on the roof...or perhaps a tower" would allow one to see further beyond, but that starts to get more complicated. I'd settle with the above enhancements that likely can use calculations that are already being done. Joe
