![]() In such situations, the normal cover bonuses to AC and Reflex saves can be doubled (to +8 and +4 respectively). Improved Cover (page 196): In some cases, such as attacking a target hiding behind an arrowslit, cover may provide a greater bonus to AC and Reflex saves. You can't make an attack against a target that has total cover. Total Cover (page 196): If you don't have line of effect to your target (that is, you cannot draw a line from your square to your target's square without crossing a solid barrier), he is considered to have total cover from you. This partial cover is subject to the DM's discretion. Partial Cover (page 196): If a creature has cover, but more than half the creature is visible, it's cover bonus is reduced to +2 to AC and a +1 bonus on Reflex saving throws. However, such soft cover provides no bonus on Reflex saves, nor does soft cover allow you to make a Stealth check. Soft Cover (page 196): Creatures, even your enemies, can provide you with cover against ranged attacks, giving you a +4 bonus to AC. This does not actually apply in this case, but the following will explain why. ![]() When making a melee attack against a target that isn't adjacent to you (such as with a reach weapon), use the rules for determining cover from ranged attacks.Ĭover and Attacks of Opportunity (page 195): You can't execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with cover relative to you. When making a melee attackagainst an adjacent target, your target has cover if any line from any corner of your square to the target's square goes through a wall (including a low wall). If any line from this corner to any corner of the target's square passes through a square or border that blocks the line of effect or provides cover, or through a square occupied by a creature, the target has cover (+4 to AC). This rule only allows Tiny or smaller to share squares.Ĭover (page 195): To determine whether your target has cover from your ranged attack, choose a corner of your square. Note the differences from the swarm rules in the bestiary, where swarms of creatures can occupy a square of another creature. This provokes an attack of opportunity from the opponent.You can attack into your own square if you need to, so you can attack such creatures normally.Since they have no natural reach, they do not threaten squares around them.You can move past them without provoking attacks of opportunity. They must enter an opponent's square to attack in melee. Creatures that take up less than 1 square typically have a natural reach of 0 feet, meaning they can't reach into adjacent squares. 25 Diminutive creature or 100 Fine creatures can fit in a single square. A Tiny creature typically occupies a space only 2 1/2 feet across, so four can fit into a single square. This means that more than one such creature can fit into a single square. Very small creatures take up less than 1 square of space. Sometimes a character ends its movement while moving through a space where it is not allowed to stop.When that happens, put your miniature in the last legal position you occupied, or the closest legal position, if there's a legal position that's closer.īig and Little Creatures in Combat - Tiny, Diminutive, Fine (pages 194-195): Creatures moving through squares occupied by other creatures provoke attacks of opportunity.Īccidentally Ending Movement in an Illegal Square (page 194): ![]() A big creature can move through a square occupied by a creature three size categories smaller than it is. Square Occupied by Creature Three Sizes Larger or Smaller (page 193):Īny creature can move through a square occupied by a creature three size categories larger than itself. Is this possible, or have we severely misremembered a rule somewhere? Both of us remember reading it, but neither knows where. Additionally, the familiar has been able to move from person to person (as long as they are adjacent to each other) by using each person as cover, and thus avoiding any AoOs (as you don't provoke AoOs if you're behind cover). Due to this rule, the familiar can't be targeted. I can't for the life of me find where it's from! We thought it was from the Giant Hunter's Handbook, but I checked every instance of the word "Cover" there, and I found nothing.Īs an example of what we've used this rule to do: The player is a Witch, and he's commanded his familiar to sit on top of one of the other players heads. ![]() The rough wording of it is something like "If a Tiny or smaller creature occupies the same square as a creature at least two size categories larger than itself, it can use this creature to gain cover against other creatures." I'm the GM in a game, and a player and I have been using a rule for a while now, and suddenly neither of us can remember where we found it.
