The German rules say - in the rulebook - that every spell not cast on yourself requires line of sight. Period.
Some spell cards, however, contradict this rule somewhat.
I trust the rulebook in that respect, though I'm all over writing a new one for my group.

Why is the Genie debateable? It clearly states "anywhere on the board". So it doesn't need line of sight. The Genie has eyes of it's own ;)

But the wizard doesn't say "hey, Genie, go out and pick a door you like"...he tells him which door to open and therefore he must know and see this door. Maybe the wizard is able to see through the Genie's eyes once the spell has been cast.

I'm with Leander there.
All spells not cast on yourself require line of sight according to the German rules.

I wasn't looking at the cards, just answering from memory. You are right, if it says anywhere on the board then no line of sight required- no debate.

I require LOS on all three.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

Have anyone ever actually used the Genie to open a door? My group never has... In which situation would it be a good idea, considering you loose a ranged dice 5 attack?

1. Solo Quest.
2. Repeated fails to open a stone door due to really bad rolling.
3. Wizard went a different route and wanted through a stone door.

I was surprised when it happened the second and third time as it wasn't really needed.

If the wizard decides to open a door and reveal a room with the Genie are only the monsters placed or are also the traps shown?
