Cover. If Range attacks or Ranged Touch attacks pass through anything's space, generally there is cover granted.Here's a 3.5 rules question that popped up recently... Ranged attacking through a narrow, cluttered battlefield... are there rules to Cover and Concealment that apply to targets that lie 10'+ beyond a line of active combatants? Are they considered cover or are they clear targets?
Thanks folks!
If the target is in melee with an enemy, then there is also the firing into melee penalty.
Shooting at someone fighting your buddy, while being behind your buddy is 8 points harder than shooting at an open target. Your shot gets -4 to hit because you are shooting into a melee, the target gets +4 AC from cover from being behind your buddy{relative to your position.]
