[QUOTE="ForbidenMaster, post: 4947322, member: 63213"] Youre right, I should have said "the PHB effectively says..." Im sure it does pretty mutch say "You -might like to read this.-" I dont have access to my books right now, but unless I am horrably mistaken it does say (in not so many words) "make a quick and simple ruling and if you absolutly care to spend more than 2 seconds on cover then go to the DMG." I dont think anyone is arguing that these rules (the melee cover rules) are available and can be enforced.Its pretty much six of one, half a dozen of the other, no? A DM isnt going to DM a game where the party wont follow the DMs rules and a party wont play a game that doesnt include the rules that it wants. I would liek to think that people are a bit more civil about such things and come to some sort of concensus. Agreed, except that (as far as I can recall from memory) the PHB (and I believe the DMG as well for that matter) gives the option of flat out ignoring that specific rule which groups such as Obryns have done. With wording (that I believe is there) such as this, I find it hard to catagorically say "youre doing it wrong" as per RAW for whatever that is worth. Also, with such wording I find it hard not to say that at the very it least it can be ambiguous. Personally, just looking at two creatures in melee arround a corner and not giving cover screams to me "youre doing it wrong," but as I said above, the PHB and DMG (from what I can recall) seem to make the issue ignorable.
