EoM-R: Spell List Question

[sirwmholder]

Has anyone encountered a problem with Evoke (Mist)? If I am reading this correctly Evoke (Mist) is one of the strongest spell list do to it's nature of snaking around barriers and seeping through cracks to deal damage. I have this visual of an evil caster blasting away at the party so they take cover. The BBEG then unloads a 'Massive area of Mist' on the party... since they were taking cover and bracing against the Fighter with a large tower shield they are denied their DEX bonus and therefore do not receive Reflex saves thus taking full damage from the Evoke (Mist) spell. Am I reading this wrong or is that the intent?

Thank you for your time,
William Holder

Negative, even if cowering behind full cover the characters are still afforded a save, they just don't get the RAW +4 to a REF save for being behind cover.

Doh, exactly right... denied +4 to Reflex do to concealment... I knew something didn't add up.

Thanks for that,
