[QUOTE="embee, post: 8151763, member: 7026827"] Heavily Obscured: Hidden in the bushes Total Cover: Crouching behind a concrete jersey barrier The bushes affect the ability to aim at someone. The jersey barrier affects the ability of that person to be hit by some kind of damage. Think of an action movie. Any action movie. There will be that scene where the hero has set off some kind of explosive, runs and vaults over a jersey barrier, and takes cover behind it just before the big bang. The explosion goes off and the wall of fire spreads out. It hits the concrete jersey barrier and the hero is left unharmed. But what if he jumped into the bushes instead? Would he have been unharmed? No. The wall of fire would have taken him out. Roll credits. Concealment negates aim, but not damage. Cover negates damage. They are two separate concepts. Bushes provide concealment but will not provide cover from an attack. [/QUOTE]
