Invisible Cover

Absolutely.

What does affecting your aim have to do with it? There's areas of the target that cannot be hit because something is obstructing the projectile.

If I shoot an arrow at someone, and his friend is standing in between trying to block it, the fact that I cannot see the enemy doesn't change the fact that he is there with a shield and trying to block it.

His being invisible does make his defensive contribution less, because his defensive contribution is as a physical obstruction.

In fact, if you want to get really technical, it should be HARDER to shoot the enemy because if I could SEE the cover, I'd know where not to shoot. Shooting someone behind an invisible wall is very hard to do because you don't have any idea where the wall is or isn't. So you might think you're aiming for the heart, when in reality, there's nothing but invisible bricks in the way.


What invisible terrain and enemies do NOT do is provide concealment.


By the way, there IS a game term for invisible cover: Blocking Terrain.

I would definetly make it count as cover, if the attacker misses by -2 he hits the person in the way instead.

Actually, given the coolness factor of that happening in combat. I would say that the cover was worth more than -2 since the attacker does not know to try and avoid it. So maybe up to -5, if they miss thanks to that, they nail the wrong guy.
