By the way, I'm unfamiliar with ToB stuff, so you'll have to explain it as we go along.

[Bakkan]

No problem with the explaining, it's mostly stuff I need to keep track of.

Pierce Stabb - Round 1

Just to let you know, it takes 35 ft of movement to get to G14. You can, however, go to F14 or G13 in 30 ft. of move, where'll you'll still have total cover against me.

After some thought I believe I-15 has cover against S-6.

Chuck has no hope of making the spot check.

Move to J-2 for move action.

Need LoS to proceed.

@Refs:

Chuck Listen (in case): (1d20-5)[2]

Question for Refs: The way I see it, LOS has existed for Pierce for the entire turn, so the trigger of "gaining LOS" won't happen. You can't gain LOS if you already have it.

I'm also seeing No cover or concealment for G13 from J2, but I'd like ref opinion on this before I make a possible error.

LOS coming.

EDIT: In the future, posting these requests in the waiting room will speed up the time for the check.

[Sallera]

First sounds right. I believe the posts are considered to occupy their entire squares for LoS purposes, however, so cover still exists.

[Chess435]

Any LoS yet?

[candycorn]

LOS.

Refs:

Per Sallera ruling, Cover exists for Pierce, so Chuck cannot see. (-5 spot mod vs Hide 22).

Pierce:

You have LOS at the end of your turn to Chuck in S6. During his turn, he moves to J2.

Ready action does not trigger. (this was one thing verified, and reasoning for this was agreed by high ref)
