Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abraxas" data-source="post: 5012533" data-attributes="member: 1266">This should be a simple question - but we've had a new discussion about it at our game last night.The text for determining cover for ranged attacks says "To determine whether your target has cover from your ranged attack, choose a corner of your square. If any line from this corner to any corner of the target's square passes through a square or border that blocks line of effect or provides cover, or through a square occupied by a creature, the target has cover (+4 to AC)."Assuming the following situation, where the Xs are the walls, Os are open spaces, A is an archer, and the T is his targetXXXXXOOOOXOAOOXXXOOXXXTOXWould the target have cover vs A's ranged attack?The only two corners A can choose to draw lines from would be the upper or lower right. (well you could choose the upper and lower left, but then the target has total cover). Lines from both the upper and lower right corners go through the border of the wall to the upper & lower left corners of the target. A wall is something that blocks line of effect or provide cover.Or does "through a border" mean something that I'm missing?The reason this is in Pathfinder RPG discussion is the Core rulebook includes a diagram that references determining cover that appears (to me at least) to contradict the text of determining cover. I'm hoping one of the Paizo folks stops in to say what is correct.</blockquote>
