pghfett Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I was was recently informed and read here that a character standing on a car (terrain feature) but meeting all the requirements for cover has cover. But the rulebook specifically says characters that hide behind terrain features gain cover (not on top) page 25 rulebook. It was my impression the spirt of the rule was "standing on" is not the same as "standing behind" and behind took precedence. If I'm wrong and it seems so, we've been using cover rules wrong since MCP was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negoldar Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 So long as all three criteria are met the character will benefit from cover. Standing on top of a terrain feature that meets the size requirements to grant cover will do so if the other two criteria are met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoras Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I’ve seen this come up before, so it seems an opportune chance to have it stated straight out. The first sentence of the Cover section in this screen shot is just a narrative/descriptive statement, not a rules statement, correct? I know the previous answer basically says that, but having it stated straight out would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct that the first sentence there is more descriptive than a statement of how the rule works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
