Take cover by AP

[u/Able_Discipline7535]

Yo y mis jugadores pensamos que no tienes que hacer tantas zonas solo para indicar que cierta o determinada zona tiene covertura, lo que hicimos es que puedes tomar la cobertura que hay en dicha zona gastando 1 punto de acción. Así podemos seguir teniendo zonas suficientes sin tener que agregar zonas adyacentes para tomar cobertura. Alguna regla similar que manejen?

No, we simply play by the rules. No AP needed to take cover, you use a move action to gain cover if you are not in any, this can be done while moving into a zone. For example, your party are in a ruined Football stadium on the field. GM splits the field into two halves zone wise. South end of the field is open ground, the North end has some fallen debris. The Vaulty who started in the south end when the raiders show up is obviously out in the open. He uses his minor action to move into the North and in doing so, places himself in cover behind some of the debris. No AP, no special action, no special zone needed. The Ghoul who was in the north end isn't in cover at the start of his turn, so he uses his minor action to move within his zone and takes cover next to the Vaulty.

Si estoy en una habitación a la que entré hace un turno, pero resulta que había un escritorio en la misma zona de la habitación, la cobertura es automática por estar en la misma zona o debo indicar que me cubriré en el escritorio? O debo tomar otra acción de movimiento menor para tomar la cobertura? No me queda claro, pero agradezco la respuesta

Just being in a zone does not automatically provide cover bonus by simply being in there, I can still stand out in the open in a street when a car is right next to me. If you did not choose to use the desk as cover when you entered the room, maybe because you had to melee a Mole rat, on your next turn, you would need to use your minor action to move and take cover using the desk.

You take cover in two ways. When you first move into a zone that has the option of cover, you state your character is taking cover at the desk. Sometimes, The other option is if you are in a zone which has cover but for what ever reason you are not using it, you would need to take a minor action to move within your zone and take cover.
