 One of the better ways to avoid taking damage is to hide behind something or avoid being spotted.  Each source of cover or concealment is assigned a rating from 1 to 5, with 1 representing light obstruction and 5 representing nearly complete protection.
-When an attack is made against a target with cover or concealment, the attacker rolls 2d10 as normal. If either die shows a value equal to or less than the cover rating, the attack automatically misses, regardless of the total roll. This reflects the chance that a strike or projectile is blocked or obscured by the environment, and it is integrated directly into the attack roll.
+When an attack is made against a target with cover or concealment, the attacker rolls 2d10 as normal. For *each die* showing a value equal to or less than the cover rating, reduce the degree of success by one step, to a minimum of a **Complete Failure**. This reflects the chance that a strike or projectile is blocked or obscured by the environment, and it is integrated directly into the attack roll.
-The same chance to miss also applies to any skill requiring direct observation of the target. For example, attempting a Perception check against a creature in mist, or using Knowledge to [[nexusframe:actions:Translate Writing]] through a peephole, may incur a concealment chance.
