[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8259244, member: 72555"] [ATTACH type="full"]136220[/ATTACH] So going pure grid, where you assume walls align with it, Grimmwald has line of sight to the blue dot square, so can attack. They cannot move into it. As for cover, let's pretend Grim is attacking the orc in the hand drawn red box. Clearly that orc is attacking Grim with cover (see the green arrow). Does the orc have cover from Grim? That is the "along the wall" rule; does is a line going down a wall's edge blocked at all, or not? If you take away the grid (as is reasonable!), then the pillar at the corner means Grim cannot shoot down to the red box orc without cover; the pillar blocks all of Grimm's corners from seeing the red box orc's right side. The same would hold of the blue dot orc. If not, then the blue dot orc has cover. I find the red box orc is easier to think about, and using the same rules for the cover of the orc is reasonable. Note that if the red box orc had cover from grim, so would grim have from the blue dot orc, and the blue dot orc from grim. [/QUOTE]
