D&D 5E COVER doubts

First Post
Hello noble friends. Yesterday we had another session of our RPG and had some questions, all related to COVERAGE.
Actually I have even made a post a few weeks ago about it but were still
confused some points for us, and I ask your help please.

1) In the situation 1 ENEMY1 this one with a bow attacking the CHAR2, this just behind an ally, CHAR1. The CHARACTER wins 2 1/2 coverage?
Or by not being in the adjacent square behind the CHAR1, which is its
1/2 cover, do not get?

2) The second situation is similar to the first, but the ENEMY1 this attack from another location, and the CHAR2 not this exactly (4 lines of vision covered square) as in the first instance. He can cover yet? How does it work exactly?
3) In the third situation ENEMY1 this attacking with a bow the CHAR1 and CHAR2 behind a stone 3/4 coverage. Which are the coverage CHAR1 and CHAR2? The fact of being away from coverage 3/4 "reduces" the coverage of CHAR2?
4) In the situation 4 ENEMY1 this attacking with a sword the CHAR1. The personagem1 which has coverage? Or have not you?
5) In the situation 5 ENEMY1 this attacking with his bow the CHAR1 this "Prone" (fallen) behind a desk that gives half coverage. Being prone (lowered / dropped) increases the coverage it?
6) In the book has a picture showing how to calculate coverage, starting four of the lines more Advanced fo attacker to target the 4 square corners. If all 4 have vision coverage,
Only 3 3/4 cover, 2 or 1 1/2 coverage and gives all without coverage. So far I understand, but
how such an obstacle such as a table giving 1/2 coverage? If four lines can not reach
gives 1/2 coverage? And if they reach only two lines?
7) But IMAGINE that has a tree 3/4 cover (or any object). In this case to trace the lines and 2 reach the target, as would be? Since it does not "get no line" would give 3/4. Got that? That is, how it applies this rule of "four lines" when we are not talking about full coverage "possible"?

The DMG has clarification for cover when playing on a grid. Draw a line from one corner of the attacker to each corner of the target. If 1-2 lines go through something, it has 1/2 cover. If 3+ go through something, it has 3/4 cover.

If you are not playing on a grid, then the DM should simply adjudicate the situation. I generally give cover for attacking anything other than the front rank, plus anything that's trying to use the terrain to get it (assuming it's available).
 


Please translate your word into "question" instead of "doubt". Thank you

CapnZapp, please stop telling people how or where to post. I've seen this a few times recently (not counting your telling me how to post news threads) and it's becoming quite uncomfortable. English isn't his first language; if it bothers you that much, feel free to ignore his threads.
