ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

just noticed something that doesn't make sense ...

I've thrown a etl6.5 Fireflash into a group of snakes in old forests guessing that the whole meadow i'm throwing it into is full of snakes ... yet only those snakes i can see is harmed (well ... killed), while those just outside my view (yet clearly within the explosion) is unharmed.

Doesn't make sense that.

Edit:

even if monsters are seen by Arcane eye, they don't take damage if they aren't in Line of effect from your character

The In Vault status is applied to various enemies that are in pregenerated special rooms. This makes them immobile-and immune to damage-until you see them.

This includes "monster nest" type vaults, which include those big boxes full of snakes/ants you see in Old Forest.

Maybe that invulnerability status should be revoked if the monster gets detected by arcane eye, telepathy, tracking, etc as well as LOS? )
