[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 9212921, member: 779"] So I realized that "space" for creatures is only 2D, I assume a medium or small creature takes up a 5x5x5 foot space and one on the ground can attack flying creatures that are 5 feet off the ground in any of those 9 cubes that are above their space. If a medium or small creature is flying or underwater, I assume they can also attack any of the 9 cubes that are under them. So going by this should large creatures take up a 10x10x10 space and a large creature on the ground be able to melee attack creatures in cubes that are within 20 feet of the ground? Potentially can a large creature standing on a street, attack someone standing on the second floor (assuming that 1 floor/story is 10 feet in height) depending if they're on something like a balcony or by a window? Or a huge creature being able to reach the third floor with an attack where they're standing? For those being attacked by those large creatures standing on the street, does being in a building count as having cover? Or does the large creature's attacks have disadvantage in many of these cases? [/QUOTE]
