Logic suggests that it should hit the cover and explode (meaning that the targets still need to save, albeit with the bonuses from the cover. But doing that effectively gives the PC two bites at the cherry and also means there is no reason not to try to fire it through the arrow slit - which doesn't really feel right.(An alternate approach, and most likely what I would actually do, would be to remove the ranged touch attack and just have everyone make saves normally (with the targets getting the bonus from cover normally). But that's not RAW.)</blockquote>
