Concealed

Main > Conditions > Concealed

You are hidden by smoke, darkness or another effect that obscures line of sight but does not block line of effect.

Concealment grants a +2 bonus to AC.

Total Concealment: If you have line of effect to a target but not line of sight, he is considered to have total concealment from you. You can’t attack an opponent that has total concealment, though you can attack into a square that you think he occupies. Even if you guess the right square, the creature in the square gainst a +5 bonus to AC.

You can’t execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with total concealment, even if you know what square or squares the opponent occupies.

How to determine cover: To determine whether your target has concealment from your ranged attack, choose a corner of your square. If any line from this corner to any corner of the target’s square passes through a square or border that provides concealment, the target has concealment.

When making a melee attack against an adjacent target, your target has concealment if his space is entirely within an effect that grants concealment. When making a melee attack against a target that isn’t adjacent to you, use the rules for determining concealment from ranged attacks.
