[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7289865, member: 6802951"] I think that he is referring to the way this works like a computer glitch or a two-dimensional character: Being able to sight and attack along an infinitely thin flat vertical plane without having anything poking out. Total cover means that they can't see you, no matter what you got on your Stealth check: all of you is behind it. In order to look or attack around the cover, you need to expose your head (and arm(s) if you're attacking something) by moving it out from behind the cover. At which point stealth becomes important because you are no longer in total cover and it is possible to see you. Whether or not your movement or exposed part(s) are actually seen will depend upon stealth now. The exception that I can think of is when your cover is transparent such as a wall of force. If you're completely behind that, you are still in total cover, but you can see though it and your opponents can see you through it. You will still have to stick an arm or something out from behind it in order to attack something on the other side though. Or a different exception is when you're using an indirect attack, like just tossing a bottle of alchemists fire blindly from behind cover: you could just lob something over the top without having to stick anything out from behind it.
