Cover

@badgerwerks how does the cover application for 5e helpers work? I know you do black magic to calculate the cover value, but then what? Do you use an effect on the target or on the attacker? I stumbled on this ac.cover data point which plays into the calculation of an actor's AC and have been trying to figure out what if anything uses it...

assigning a "cover" effect to the target doesn't make sense when it is probably a different value for different enemy tokens.

that makes sense, or if core shipped with a 1/2, 3/4, 'condition'

rip far as I can tell... the core system doesn't ever assign this value. It does allow effects to do so so that's something I guess.

Ah yeah you right There's some concept of "cover" on vehicle equipment... I wonder if I've stumbled into a half-finished idea
