[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 6341685, member: 3586"] Cover - in the basic rules - is much more a case of DM judgement. The rule about "opposite side of the cover" just means that cover doesn't work when you're shot from the side the cover isn't on! A-----> B -- C <------D If A fires at B, he gets no cover from C, despite C providing cover to B from D's attack. The suggestion is that creatures give half cover, arrow slits give three-quarters cover and standing in a different room entirely with a wall between you gives you full cover. :) The interesting thing about the basic rules is that if there are several creatures in the way, all providing half cover, that never equates to more; you just use the half-cover modifier. When attacking at an angle, use your judgement as to when the cover no longer applies. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
