Anything less than total concealment still allows you to see the target, so you may target them with no miss chance. A totally concealed opponent cannot be targeted. For ray or touch attack spells, such as Scorching Ray, you may target an opponents square even if you can't see them. Miss chances will apply, however. An AoE spell, such as Fireball, effects everyone in the area whether you see them or not.

Puca 01-27-06, 04:30 PM	I dont think thats exactly the case: When making a melee attack against an adjacent target, your target has concealment if his space is entirely within an effect that grants concealment. When making a melee attack against a target that isn’t adjacent to you use the rules for determining concealment from ranged attacks.
Doorstop 01-27-06, 04:49 PM	right-o, thanks for the clarification
MrkGrismer 01-27-06, 04:54 PM	My fault, so it would apply to touch spells also. But not to targeted or area spells.
