Any creature with a space larger than 5 feet (1 square) determines cover against melee attacks slightly differently than smaller creatures do. Such a creature can choose any square that it occupies to determine if an opponent has cover against its melee attacks. Similarly, when making a melee attack against such a creature, you can pick any of the squares it occupies to determine if it has cover against you.
What it comes down to with a large creature is, can you target the top half of the creature, treating them as a 4x4 cube? If so there is no soft cover, if cover has to be determined in 2d then there is cover. When I GM I let people taget in 3d (that does not mean it's right) becuase you have to to make radius spells work.

Soft cover is an AC bonus, where as firing into melee is an attack penality. I can include them both if you like but normally try to keep them as ac bonus and attack penaltie because there are corner cases where that matters. It is your call how me move forward. You are correct that both apply.

Rask owns a controlling share in a caravan company that makes regular trips across the inner sea. His imposing nature makes him ideal to deal with merchants and others that might use his company's services. His company is well known for its heavily armed and armored guards and groups that use his services are always well protected.
OK, Prince Charmings. We are just about to dock after our cruise on the Black Waters.
Because this game is a part of PbP Game Day VII, there is a chance to win a boon.
According to the overseer, a boon is won on a natural 20 or 19, and there are no re-rolls for boons.
If a boon is won, please also roll a d4 to determine which boon you win.
Boons are delivered by the PbP VO team to the e-mail address you Private Message to me.
RE: Reporting
I am responsible for sending out Chronicles and entering the game data in the PbP Game Day VII reporting website.
Your chronicles are almost done, and I plan to PM each of you the link to the Chronicle folder on google drive once the boon stuff is taken care of.
I understand the actual Reporting is the responsibility of the VO team. So there may be a delay between me entering the data and the game appearing in your Organized Play Sessions.

@GM - thanks for taking the time to run the adventure.
@all - thanks for tolerating my hackneyed attempt at British slang to go with the metal flavor of The Black Crow. Hopefully his actions didn’t offend anyone IRL.

Last Game Day I won 2 Boons, both wound up being the same and I agree they were not impressive. I've only awarded one of them so far but haven't really used it.

Some boons do open up races, but there are a wide variety of other types of boons available too. A boon really just gives you something you otherwise couldn't have normally.
As an example:
There is one that has you interview 30 or so other players, making note of their names and numbers I think, after which it lets you improve one stat by 1 point. You must play 30 scenarios for that one to come into effect though, as you can only interview one player per scenario.
Another boon gives you endure elements but only in hot climates.
Yeah, the GM boon for Game Day VII is the Ganzi, a race from the Distant Shores book I believe.

Is there someone that can take a look to see that none of us who were hit by the ghast or the ghoul were inflicted with ghoul fever?
Yep, I’ve been keeping track of this, and there are no issues on that score.
I have PM’d everyone the link to the Chronicle sheets on google drive and have reported the session (including Hullric’s winning details) to the PbP VO’s reporting website.
Thank-you all for playing and I hope you had fun with Black Waters.
I will likely close the thread in 24 hours or so, allowing some time for any problems or final comments to be posted.
