[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6968498, member: 12731"] Sorry I still don't see less-than-total-cover playing a large role. At least not in my campaigns. If you're ranged, and you somehow haven't taken the feat that negates cover, you'll simply shoot at the one without cover. (No matter how many creatures that are hiding behind someone else, there must be at least one with no cover! :)) If you're a spellcaster, you can target creatures with less than total cover just fine. And if they all hide behind the big bad brute, I have two words: area spell. Total cover, on the other hand, means you're totally safe from everything except Readied actions and large area spells. The rules of the game have simply changed significantly compared to previous editions. Not sure how you mean. Savvy players certainly don't allow enemy melee monsters to remain in cover? Sure they can take cover, but then they're normally not in melee? Perhaps I have missed something, but from play over fifteen levels and three DMs I can't remember anyone both getting to do make melee attacks and still enjoy cover bonuses... [/QUOTE]
