This is more of a logic issue than a rules issue, but, how do low objects block fire. Wouldn't it make more sense to have "tall" or "high" objects? I understand that game logic and real-world logic don't usually (if ever) overlap. But, could someone help me out her?Confused Cursing ConfusedCursing Confused Cursing

Because the characters are crouching down.
The bigger ones really have to scrunch down.

Oh...Blushing Wow, I never thought of that. But, I still think that "low" objects is a rather silly name for the spaces, but, I guess it will have to do.Smile

What gets me is a huge hiding behind, well, anything.
I can see hiding behind a wall but a mouse driod works just as well.Confused

Well, "low" is relative. A "high object" would be something like a big crate that is taller than a person; obviously that would be treated as a well. With that being considered "high", something like a desk or chest-high cover would be considered "low", and something that you could take cover behind and/or would obstruct lines of sight enough to make you harder to hit.

Obviously this makes a little less sense with things like huges getting cover from desks or Mouse Droids providing cover for anything, but that keeps the game simple.
