Cover No Direct Line: If a line through a corner of your square (choose any corner) to your target passes through a wall or other obstacle, your target has cover against you. Creatures provide soft cover (see below) Low Walls and Low Obstacles: A low wall or obstacle provides cover against melee attacks. For ranged attacks, a low wall or obstacle only provides cover if the target is within 30 feet of the wall and if he is closer to the wall than the attacker. Soft Cover: If a creature is providing the cover, you only have soft cover. Improved Cover: Includes near-total cover such as arrow slits (total cover prevents all attacks). Also gives a +10 to hide checks. Total Cover: A barrier completely covers the target. Attacks are not possible. Reflex Saves: You gain a +2 bonus (+4 w/ improved cover) to reflex saves against attacks or burst (but not spread) effects when behind cover, except soft cover (creature cover). Concealment Effect: Partial concealment causes attacks to have a 20% chance of missing. Total concealment causes attacks to have a 50% chance of missing even if the attacker attacks the correct square, and often a spot check is necessary to notice the presence of the creature or determine which square it is in (see Notice Other Creatures section of DM Screen). Or the attacker may guess a square. If the attacker selects an empty square he automatically misses. Common sources of concealment include bushes, fog, severe weather, poor illumination (below), etc. Poor Illumination: Shadowy or dim illumination provides partial concealment. Total darkness provides total concealment. Darkvision usually negates both. An observer with low light vision sees as if light sources had double their radius, may treat moonlight like daylight and treats candles as normal light instead of dim light. Flanking For two creatures to flank a third creature, the line connecting their centers must pass through opposite sides of the third creature's space

2 Forms of Movement You may include one or more forms of movement in a single move action.

Hide checks may only be done behind (partial) cover or concealment such as an obstacle or shadowy illumination, before anyone observes you. If you move to such a spot while being observed, even casually observed, the observers automatically see where you went. See the Hide After Creating a Diversion action for an exception to this rule. If you are behind total cover/concealment, you can't be seen regardless of your check, but you might be heard. Tumble Tumble check. You tumble at half speed.

TURN OR REBUKE UNDEAD*: Standard action. Turn or rebuke undead within 60 feet, except those blocked by an obstacle. 1. Highest HD Affected: Make a cha check, subtract 10, then divide by 3, then round up, then add your cleric level. Each undead with this many HD or less is affected. Exceptions: you may not affect an undead more than 4 HD over your cleric level, and you always affect those more than 4 HD under your cleric level. 2. Total HD Affected: 2d6 + cleric level + charisma modifier. You affect closer undead first, except those already turned/rebuked. 3a. Effect (turning): Turned undead flee the best they can for 10 rounds (1 minute), or cower if they cannot flee. If you approach while within 10 feet, the turning is canceled. If your cleric level is twice or more the undead's HD, it is destroyed instead. 3b. Effect (rebuking): Rebuked undead cower for 10 rounds (1 minute) instead of fleeing, or become commanded instead of being destroyed. The total HD of commanded undead may not exceed your cleric level. You may release an undead at any time. If the undead were previously turned, successfully rebuking them neutralizes the turning instead of rebuking the undead if the highest HD affected for rebuking is equal or greater than the result for turning. You may instead bolster the undead in advance, to protect against future turning. For 10 rounds (1 minute), the effective HD of the undead for turning purposes becomes equal to the highest HD you would be able to affect when rebuking.
