Can grenades (or other 'within 6' effects like force lighting) go around a corner to hit an enemy you cannot see? Do these effects use normal targeting rules? Thanks

1. No, you can't do a bank shot with a grenade. 2.Yes, everything follows targeting rules except for abilities and force powers that have an area effect. Examples are: Force repulse, Lightsaber sweep, War throat, and other ones that say: Within *, All adjacent enemies, or others like that.
An easy trick is to look for the words target and targeting.

Your reasoning is correct, but your yes answser is misleading at best.

I see. Okay, I'll change it a bit. Thanks for noticing.
