Em que circunstâncias a cobertura afetaria ataques corpo a corpo?
Se três caracteres estiverem alinhados, como mostrado no diagrama, e o homem de armadura inferior direito fizer um ataque corpo a corpo contra a criatura do sapo no canto superior esquerdo (através do quadrado da mulher e na esquina), o sapo terá metade cobertura do ataque?
As regras para cobertura estão abaixo:
Cover
Walls, trees, creatures, and other obstacles can provide cover during combat, making a target more difficult to harm. A target can benefit from cover only when an attack or other effect originates on the opposite side of the cover.
There are three degrees of cover: half cover, three-quarters cover, and total cover. If a target is behind multiple sources of cover, only the most protective degree of cover applies; the degrees aren’t added together. For example, if a target is behind a creature that gives half cover and a tree trunk that gives three-quarters cover, the target has three-quarters cover.
Half Cover
A target with half cover has a +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has half cover if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The obstacle might be a low wall, a large piece of furniture, a narrow tree trunk, or a creature, whether that creature is an enemy or a friend.
Three-quarters Cover
A target with three-quarters cover has a +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has three-quarters cover if about three-quarters of it is covered by an obstacle. The obstacle might be a portcullis, an arrow slit, or a thick tree trunk.
Total Cover
A target with total cover can’t be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target has total cover if it is completely concealed by an obstacle.
Eu consideraria o canto da parede bloqueando pelo menos metade dessa criatura (pode ser Bullywug) para obter meia cobertura do invasor no canto inferior direito.
Também observarei que uma vítima de ataque corpo a corpo pode ter cobertura se o atacante estiver atacando com uma arma de alcance e houver uma criatura entre o atacante e o alvo.
Salvo indicação em contrário por alguma habilidade específica (por exemplo, atirador de elite)
Eu vou roubar uma quantia justa do meu responder sobre armas de alcance e cobertura aqui, como eu acho que é basicamente o mesmo.
Com isso em mente, podemos avaliar se um ataque de alguma posição incorre em cobertura de outra posição.

... A target has half cover if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The obstacle might be a ... creature, whether that creature is an enemy or a friend. (emphasis mine)
p.250 e p.251 do DMG têm um gráfico / descrição.
To determine whether a target has cover against an attack or other effect on a grid, choose a corner of the attacker's space... trace imaginary lines from that corner to every corner of any one square the target occupies. If one or two of those lines are blocked by an obstacle (including another creature), the target has half cover....
Assim, podemos tentar o mesmo exercício com sua imagem e vemos que, se a mulher ou a parede não estivessem lá, nenhuma cobertura seria obtida. Como ambos estão presentes, o alvo recebe um bônus por meia cobertura.
