    Hmm, I wonder if testing has been done on this?
    Hallowed ground does not prevent cover damage or reduce it in any way, the damage the target would have taken equals the damage you WILL take when you cover someone. It's obvious you haven't tested this at all.

    Yeah, was going to say that. Been running a bunch of WP Speed-runs as a WHM recently; PAL uses Hallowed and Cover on some pulls, still takes damage.
