[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 6721206, member: 61026"] Combining separate OOC comments (emphasis added): If you wall off knowledge, doesn't that give you "off-the-wall" knowledge? (OK, never mind. :) ) Right. So it must have been the corner between I-30 and H-31 that gave the spider cover against Guran's thrown handaxe. That makes sense. A thing which occurred to me, but that I did not try to post IC, was the following: Guran could have continued his previous, religion-based interaction with Father Spec by faintly recalling something about the Sacred Flame cantrip (which spell Guran cannot cast), with Guran's recall being based on the training he received during the (pre-game) time spent acquiring his Acolyte background, specifically this: "S.F. Ignores Cover." It gets complicated by the fact that Guran is not particularly clever: [I]it might not occur to him[/I] to suggest that Spec move 5 feet north to the middle of the short corridor (that is, to I-30), from which space Spec could then still attack the spider equally successfully using Sacred Flame, which ignores cover -- but which movement would then allow someone else (such as Guran, for example) to occupy I-31, from which it might be possible for that someone else to attack the spider without the spider's gaining cover due to the corner.
