I don't see that post anywhere. <br/><br/>Ah, now I see. Those lizardmen are in trees, shooting down into a river that isn't in line of sight. In order for them to actually even begin to aim at me, if I were on the wall itself, they would have to lean over the lip of the gorge to fire.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>Hence the +4 AC cover bonus that that post specified. Her flat-footed AC (Climbing denies Dex bonus) is 18, from the breastplate (she didn't have her shield in hand - at least I hope not given that you posted her climbing), +4 for cover, for 22. This made the difference with one attack, the 19.<br/><br/>The vertical projection below (up-down = altitude, left-right = north-south) shows Cecily and the Lizardmen. Her position at that time is the lowest C. The Xs show the lowest position in each column from which someone would not have total cover from Cecily and vice versa. (The rule is any-corner-to-any-corner, yes? Cover if any corner-to-corner line is blocked, total cover if every corner-to-corner line is blocked? Maybe I misremember?) The projection doesn't show the east-west axis; the lizardmen are to the west but I believe that makes no difference.<br/><br/>It's not that close a call, particularly since the south lizardman's 3 attacks all missed anyway, but I appreciate you calling it out. And I agree that them leaning over is a good way to roleplay it.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><br/><br/>. .
