That only occurs IF the attacker is closer to the low cover than the being being attacked.Infiniti2000 said:It's not a houserule. It's not even a houserule at 1 size category larger. It's called a low obstacle and is supported by the rules, but depends on the actual heights of the creatures involved (not just size categories). A 6ft human with a longspear standing behind a 3ft halfling has cover from the halfling, but creatures in front of the halfling do not have cover from the human.
Thus a huge giant may be able to invoke that rule when making an AoO at a medium critter closing in at 15' away, but the troll can't use that for the foe only 10' away.
