Also the Other Guy's reaction --
Of course, it seems odd but I don't have any particular problem with "dives into cover behind smoke screen" idea.
Also of course, there's no reason that the opponent can't use basic reasoning to figure out where the PC went. "Hmmm . . . there was a puff of smoke and he disappeared. Maybe . . . he's behind the couch?" Real life -- read a narrative of someone training as a Commando in England, c. 1943. The writer thought he had had the perfect cover. His trainer marched right up to it and yanked him out. "How did you see me?" "Didn't have to -- you had to be out there somewhere and this was the ONLY place in this field where a man could hide." IIRC they call this the "First Cover" effect and it's taught as a warning to US snipers. |

So, yeah. In another game where this is not the expertise of the character it would have been a nice idea and good thinking. But the way it is I think I would rule the same again. Quote:

Re: [ACTION] Dive in Shadows during Combat
The fact of only 1 place to hide may be a good thing to the ninja, well, if there is only the couch to ride behind, I'll go to the other room, or to the ceiling, he'll try to find me on the couch, and then I kill him.
