I have clear line of sight on creature A. Creature B is adjacent to A but I do not have line of sight on him. If I use Copper Dragon's ranged attack on A, does the Acid Breath damage still hit creature B?

Jan 14, 2013 23:04:12 No, for a few reasons:

- Difficult terrain doesn't grant cover; obstacles (doors, tress) do.
- You can only take cover to dodge ranged attacks made against your minis, not other effects. For example, fireball would be able to hit minis hidden in trees.
- Even if the first creature could tap and take cover against the dragons attack, the card reads that the damage taken by adjacent minis occurs when the first mini is targetted, and not when damage occurs.
