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...16 Replies
After some playing around, I was able to get this working in vanilla

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'

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.Unknown User•4y ago

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