Help with cover


Rules Questions


What type of cover would this be?

The blue bordered wizard would like to shoot a ray of frost at the red bordered character. There is a doorway in front of the blue bordered wizard and the red bordered creature (enemy) is currently engaged with two other allies.

Thanks for the help!


Soft cover from allies in the way.

Anything else?

Edit: without rehashing cover rules and shooting into melee rules, the wizard effectively gets a -4 penalty for shooting into melee (unless he has precise shot feat) and the enemy gains +4 AC against the attack for having a bit of soft cover in the form of the wizards buddies. If the red guy slipped in some grease and fell prone, then the red guy would gain another +4 AC against ranged attacks.


Alright thanks Avianfoo - that is what exactly what I thought, I just wanted to double check and make sure my ruling was straight.
