[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8132640, member: 6779196"] Cover is determined by drawing a line from any one corner of the attacking creature’s space (or the origin point of a spell) to each corner of the target square. If one or two of these lines is obstructed, a creature in that square has half cover from the attacker or the spell. If three of these lines are obstructed, it has three-quarters cover. If all four are obstructed, it has total cover. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1606293887543.jpeg"]129104[/ATTACH] Now, this doesn’t necessarily tell you whether or not the attacker can see the target.
