====== Cover & Obstacles ======

===== Cover =====

Melee and ranged attacks suffer a penalty when attempting to hit a target behind Cover, per the table below: 

^Penalty^Cover^
|-2|**Light Cover:** A quarter of the target is obscured.|
|-4|**Medium Cover:** Half the target is obscured, or target is prone.|
|-6|**Heavy Cover:** Three-quarters of the target is obscured.|
|-8|**Near Total Cover:** The target is barely visible|
Obstacles Sometimes characters have sufficient power to attack their foes through obstacles. (See Breaking Things to actually destroy intervening obstacles.) If a missed attack would have been successful without the Cover modifier and the GM thinks the target is likely to be hit, the obstacle acts as Armor. If the obstacle is a person or creature, subtract its Toughness from the attack. Use the table below as a guide for other materials.
