[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8378488, member: 7032025"] It's a good point, however the halfling would have to accept that the target has some cover. How much is up for debate, as, once more in these areas, it's a DM's ruling, however, it would be at the very least half-cover (usual amount of cover for having a creature between your target and you), but a DM could also (it would be harsh, even for me, but not unjustified) three-quarters cover because the halfling is not trying to avoid being behind the creature to shoot properly, he is actively trying to stay behind so has not to be seen too early. Thanks for that example, it just goes to show once more that there are so many scenarios that, as the devs say, it's impossible to cover all the edge cases with rules. That being said, my overall reasoning still applies, a given target would certainly be fooled once (unless he is experienced in fighting halflings, circumstantial modifier to his perception), but he would become harder and harder to fool if the halfling tries to do this time and time again. How much harder, as usual, depends on the circumstances, if there are hordes of creatures attacking the target and the halfling can be behind any of them, it's much harder to guess, etc. [/QUOTE]
