In a related note, how do you do blocking via evasion and concealment, i.e. imposing a - to hit on my opponent because I used that 2 PR and 5" move to dodge specifically behind cover behind cover that was within the 5"?
Curious for your interpretation, John. You seem like a reasonable GM.
I'm not John, but here's how I kind of read this. When a character uses evasion, it just means they are jumping ducking dodging and weaving. I don't let a character reposition themselves using evasion. So just the normal evasion modifier to hit.
But, if a player can get some blocking concealment, then they get the benefit of the concealment. An attacker can make a special attack to hit the target, or they can attack the target.
If they just attack:
* first does the attack roll hit?
** If not, then miss.
** If yes, does the attack do enough damage to penetrate the concealment.
*** If not, then miss.
*** If yes, then apply any penetrating damage to the target. (Penetrating damage is however much damage exceeds the structural rating of the cover.)
