[QUOTE="NeoNick, post: 4408403, member: 72244"] Suppose we have a corridor shaped like an L. The L is 6 squares high and 4 squares wide. A monster (M) is standing at the top of the L and a PC rogue (P) comes sneaking from the right in the vertical part. M _ _ _ _ _ _ _ P The PC makes a move and ends stealthing. The PC then moves two squares left (se figure 2 below). 1a) [B]Is that square considered to be offering superior cover? [/B][COLOR=red](edit changed wording from total cover to superior cover)[/COLOR]And by what rules please? I've seen something about how many corners the monster can see - but I'm not sure where to read the rules for this? M _ _ _ _ _ P _ _ 1b) Can the PC make an attack with CA (and thereby getting Sneak Attack) from this set up? 1c) Is the monster getting cover in figure 2 when the PC attacks him? How much, -2 or -5? [U]Deft Strike [/U] Now suppose the PC had Deft Strike and wanted to move from his position in figure 1 to his position in figure 2 and attack from that square. 2a) Can the PC use the at-will-attack? Would his hidden status be brought to his position in figure 2? And thus the PC get CA? 2b) What if the PC moved one step further with Deft Strike (se figure 3 below), obviously starting one step more to the left. Could he Sneak attack from that square (even though it's out in plain view for the monster)? M _ _ _ _ P _ _ _ [/QUOTE]
