===Improved Cover===
===Improved Cover===
In some cases, such as attacking a target hiding behind an arrow slit, cover may provide a greater bonus to AC and Reflex saves. In such situations, the normal cover bonuses to AC and Reflex saves can be doubled (to +6 and +3, respectively). Improved cover counts the same as total cover for purposes of initiating a [[Stealth]] stance.
When attacking a target that is behind a source of cover that was designed for that very purpose, it may provide a greater cover bonus to AC and Reflex saves. In such situations, the normal bonuses may be doubled (to +4 and +2, respectively), or even tripled (to +6 and +3, respectively), depending on just how little of the attacker is exposed when they attack.  Examples of improved cover are the merlons on top of a castle wall (double cover bonus), or attacking through an arrow-slit or murder hole (triple cover bonus).  The GM is the final arbiter of what constitutes improved cover, and just how good that cover is.
