Sightlines is an awesome idea -- I've never enforced that kind of play, but it sounds awesome. You may also want to make it a specialty of stealth.

Sightlines are something that's significant in Tactics, and while they aren't a major use of Observation, that skill has a major element of "see what's there, not what you expect" IMHO, which makes it applicable.
Stealth is about being unnoticed: it can be very helpful with getting to use other skills, but that doesn't make them part of it. An excellent scout would have good Stealth, but also Observation, Navigation and Cartography.
