-**Cover**: Targets who are [[rules:prong|prone]] or behind cover still get some protection from area effect attacks. In these cases, the modifier they would normally receive against ranged attacks acts as that many points of [[rules:armor|Armor]] instead. A character in major cover, like a foxhole, negates four points of damage from a blast if he's caught within it.+**Cover**: Targets who are [[rules:prone|prone]] or behind cover still get some protection from area effect attacks.

 **Diving for Cover**: Thrown weapons with a blast effect (such as grenades) and artillery allow potential targets a chance to move out of the area of effect. Give targets who saw the danger coming an [[attributes|agility|Agility]] roll at -2 to jump out of the way and avoid the damage. If successful, move the character just outside the template (his choice exactly where). Grenades can be thrown back as well (see [[rules:grenades|Grenades on page 57]]). **Diving for Cover**: Thrown weapons with a blast effect (such as grenades) and artillery allow potential targets a chance to move out of the area of effect.
