[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8374181, member: 7030563"] The halfling Rogue can shoot directly directly through the space of another creature as anyone can. Whoever he is shooting at will have cover (-2 or -5), but he absolutely can do it. A halfling hiding behind a creature is not completely obscured from view, he has a line of sight to the person he is attacking and can see the enemy. The enemy could see him too if he was not a halfling who had succesfully taken the hide action and it is specifically the halfling ability that makes this possible. The "reason" the halfling is not seen is that there is a specific rule which overides the general rule that he must be fully obscured to be unseen. It also has to be a creature specifically, it cant be for example be a manequin even though that would have the exact same shape as a human. In most circumstances your position has merit, but not in this particular one. Same is true for a wood elf in falling snow or rain (although in this case the enemy has no cover). Either of these cases are fundamentally different than the archer hides behind a small wall and peeks out to shoot. In that case I am with you. [/QUOTE]
