Tiny (or Swarming) Creatures and Cover


Rules Questions


When a Tiny or smaller creatures shares a space with another, are they mutually providing cover for each other? Rules as written, I think it would apply but this seems overpowered. Also, it would mean that every opponent has cover from their melee attacks.

What about in the case where the Tiny creature tries to attack its opponent while in its square. Technically, the line from one corner of the Tiny creature's space to the opposite corner would pass through its opponent, meaning its opponent has cover against it. Is this the case?

Lastly, do Swarming Ratfolks have any special consideration for cover or does it work exactly like it would for Tiny creatures?
