Rereading the rules showed me that Dm3 and Nathan didn't have cover against each other last round...  That too didn't change anything but still.As a reminder; to determine if you can see a target, you draw a line from any corner of your own square and if it can reach any part of the target's square, you have LOS.  But if the line is blocked one some part of the target's square, he has cover.Take Leyra VS Dm5 for example; she can easily draw a line from her square in J10 to the monk in L13.  But she can't a draw a clear line to the upper right part of L13 so the target has cover.On the other hand, when fighting in Melee accross a corner, the connecting corner between the two square allows you to draw a line to any part of the target's square which means no cover, contrary to some of my previous rulings.
