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).

NDAC = No Dexterity bonus to AC for defender * Can only use a crossbow or shuriken

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.

See Concealment

NDAC = No Dexterity bonus to AC for defender * Roll Randomly to see which grappler is hit NOTE: Penalties to dexterity are already included in the AC penalty totals.

If you are behind total cover/concealment, you can't be seen regardless of your check, but you might be heard.

Items and Structures

Appraise an Item's Value Takes 1 minute. No retry. Common or well known object: A DC 10 appraise check gives the item's actual value.

Rare or exotic object: The DC is instead 10, 15, or higher. An int check (regardless of the result) or a failure on an appraise check yields no information.

The opponent gets a -4 penalty to AC against all opponents besides you.

You must have the spell component in hand (if any; see the "Retrieve Spell Component" fullround action) You must make a concentration check DC 20 + spell level or lose the spell.
