</ol>His opponent gets cover if in melee no matter the angle of the shot. The rules assume that no one will be &quot;frozen&quot; in place while combating in melee...

[QUOTE="Atomo, post: 6341979, member: 60918"] [LIST=1] [/LIST] His opponent gets cover if in melee no matter the angle of the shot. The rules assume that no one will be "frozen" in place while combating in melee...

Also remembers that hide is not an "auto" action. It involves a check. And too "You can’t hide from a creature that can see you" (basic rules, pg 60).
