[QUOTE="Mort, post: 7477623, member: 762"] It seems B [b]does[/b] have cover from A, but A has some options: 1. He can just take the cover penalty when shooting; 2. He could stick his arm(s) out and shoot blind(taking disadvantage, which mathematically is worse than than the -2 half cover you mentioned, if it was 3/4s cover it would be slightly better, but not by much), I suppose this depends on the type of weapon and cover as to whether this is actually feasible - DM's call. 3. He could move (pop out from behind the cover), shoot, and pop back into the cover - thereby taking full advantage of the cover; BUT If he does 3, B may have anticipated that and held his action to shoot as soon as A pops out, thereby also avoiding the cover. Of course that kind of anticipation is dangerous on B's part because if A does anything but pop out, B has lost both his action and his reaction for nothing. [/QUOTE]
