Hi,
I need your help on a rules question.
When a Creature has Lesser Cover.
1) Can the Creature use "Take Cover" to increase it's Cover to Standard Cover?
Why do I think, that the Creature Can use Take Cover in this situation:
In the Action "Take Cover" the requirement states " You are benefiting from cover". As I have Lesser Cover I do gain a benefit from cover, as my AC is being increased by +1. Therefore I qualify for this use of this action and get the benefits of Standard Cover after using "Take Cover"
Please tell me, how you do rule it, and how you do interpret the rules as written on this case.

I for one think that's a perfectly appropriate interpretation of the Take Cover action, and is the way I run it in my games as well. In my opinion, the text in Take Cover that says "Otherwise, you gain the benefits of standard cover (a +2 circumstance bonus instead)." makes it abundantly clear that you can do this while benefiting from only less cover, or by going prone.
