[QUOTE="TheGogmagog, post: 3010378, member: 27702"] For core rules, if something's spelled out explicitly I'll follow that (99% of the time). If something is ambigious (like extra spell and learning spells not on class list), I'll usually rule on the conservative side (no). If it's not clear or not covered (my opinion on my closest to cover ignores it rule) Well, that's the advantage of playing pen and paper over computer games. You don't get responses like 'the hell you say?', or 'that object isn't selectable'. If I make a wrong ruling to keep the game flowing, players are welcome to look it up when it's not thier turn and correct me. With a table of six players there's plenty of time and brain power. Depending on the correction needed (and time elapsed) we'll either go back and redo the action or make a note of it and do it right next time. Doh! I reread and quoted huge sections of the cover rules the other day and missed that. I was thinking it only applicable to full cover. The group did take cover, then blocked and or moved past the arrow slits quickly. It didn't affect the outcome much, in fact instead of stopping to attack the archers, it moved them forward and they were able to get to the 'portcullis' before it shut. I'm pretty sure I've got the answers now, it's +8 AC, and no attacks of opportunity. I just thought I would check if anyone had other rules/faq to reference or something else I missed. [/QUOTE]
