[QUOTE="deleteme123456, post: 4512347, member: 65832"] I'm curious what in particular is messed up about the DMG rules, except for weird cases with partial-square obstructions (which I think I'll just avoid on principle for now). Also re: Arrow Slits. The DMG specifically says (p 67) So yeah, I'd go back to a -5 penalty (and I did say -5 or -10) for superior cover unless you have some special power to bypass that. I don't think there's any problem with this then. Slightly related: how does a condition like blinded impact area/close burst/blast attacks? My current understanding is that it doesn't, which seems odd, but the PHB says you just need LOE to the origin square and then determine cover from there, and blinded just says your targets have total concealment, and concealment doesn't help against a burst or blast. Would you rule any differently for powers written as area 1 square within 10? [/QUOTE]
