Walls, trees, creatures, and other obstacles can provide cover during [[SRD5:Combat|combat]], making a target more difficult to harm. A target can benefit from cover only when an [[SRD5:Attack|attack]] or other effect originates on the opposite side of the cover.

There are three degrees of cover. If a target is behind multiple sources of cover, only the most protective degree of cover applies; the degrees aren’t added together. For example, if a target is behind a creature that gives half cover and a tree trunk that gives three-quarters cover, the target has three-quarters cover.

==Half Cover==
A target with '''half cover''' has a +2 bonus to [[SRD5:AC|AC]] and [[SRD5:Dexterity|Dexterity]] [[SRD5:Saving Throw|saving throw]]s. A target has half cover if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The obstacle might be a low wall, a large piece of furniture, a narrow tree trunk, or a [[SRD5:Creature|creature]], whether that creature is an enemy or a friend.

==Three-Quarters Cover==
A target with three-quarters cover has a +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has '''three-quarters cover''' if about three-quarters of it is covered by an obstacle. The obstacle might be a portcullis, an arrow slit, or a thick tree trunk.

==Total Cover==
A target with '''total cover''' can’t be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target has total cover if it is completely concealed by an obstacle.

==Sources==
