Cover

Cover is the term for physical barriers (or sometimes positions) which make it more difficult to fire and hit a target. Rules for Cover;


 * 1) While they can offer protection, it can also inhibit defensive shots fired back at attackers.
 * 2) Therefore there are modifiers both to hitting a target behind cover and to firing behind certain types of cover.
 * 3) Modifiers are cumulative, meaning that if you are behind cover and also firing at someone behind cover, you must take both the applicable modifier for being behind cover when firing as well as the modifier for hitting someone behind cover.
