Hi all, sorry if this is a bit noobish but....

Is it still the case that you can't shoot through a close combat? We have always been playing that you can't but I can't find where in the 6th edition rule book that states it, unless I have just missed it. So does that mean you can now and it just confers a 5+ cover save?

Cheers,

I don't think that was a thing in 5th, probably in 4th .
You may, although you still need to see your target.
You can't shoot INTO a combat though.

In 4th you could shoot through CC as well, you just had to have a higher "level" than the highest level creature in combat.

In 5th, and 6th, use TLOS
