Firing from behind a pillar may be cover, but it's definitely not concealment.I played a sniper ranger-seeker so I had to know these rules backward and forward.There's 6 things I recommend jotting down in quick reference form:1. Requirements to Make a Stealth CheckSuperior Cover or Total ConcealmentOutside line of sight2. Benefits of Being "Hidden"Combat AdvantageDon't provoke opportunity attacksTarget can't see you3. Requirements to Maintain "Hidden"Partial Cover or Partial ConcealmentBe Quiet!Stay Still!Don't attack!4. Targeting What You Can't SeePerception vs. Stealth> Success: realize creature's presence and approximate direction> Success +10: know exact square creature ended it's turn inPick a square and attack!5. What is Cover?Partial Cover (-2 attack): around corner, behind pillar/door, in small treeSuperior Cover (-5 attack): window, portcullis, grate, arrow slit***Creatures grant allied creatures cover against ranged attacks only***6. What is Concealment?Partial Concealment (-2 attack): dim light, light fog/foliage, heavy rain/snow, OR in heavy smoke/fog/foliage/dim light and adjacentTotal Concealment (-5 attack): in heavy smoke/fog/foliage/dim light, complete darkness, or invisible ***Close/Area attacks ignore all concealment***</blockquote>
