That only applies to Low Obstacles - from the PHB: Low Obstacles and Cover: A low obstacle (such as a wall no higher than half your height) provides cover, but only to creatures within 30 feet (6 squares) of it. The attacker can ignore the cover if he’s closer to the obstacle than his target.Dross said:Although IIRC, when you are closer to the cover than your opponent, your opponent does not receive said cover bonus.
Just something else to be aware of I guess.
