Actually, sorta. I had intended to *not* include the ‘not’ so that distance and
speed relative to the attacker still applied as though the wormhole isn’t there
(since he has to look at the object *without* aid of the wormhole), but Dan’s
entirely right-- there should be some sort of skill penalty for firing through a
wormhole, especially if the portal’s entrance (that you’re firing into) and the
target (that you have to look at) are more than, say, 30 degrees apart from the
attacker’s line of vision.

There’s nothing to stop you from shooting/throwing a weapon of some sort into
a wormhole, but you are, in this case, at a disadvantage. If fact, it needs
to follow the same rules as if you are trying to shoot at something you can’t
see.

Yeah, I’m tempted to say (for now) that-- if the target is greater than 30
degrees to either side of your line-of-sight to the portal you’re aiming at,
then it’s the same as not being able to see the target (IE -5 to skill).
Although I’m also tempted to add extra skill penalties for shooting through a
portal since it’s almost like taking a pool shot-- the shooter needs to figure
out the angle from the portal’s exit in order to hit his mark, then figure out
how to *get* that angle from shooting at the portal’s entrance. In fairness
you’d get penalized for greater angles, although that may be a bit too complex.
Maybe just a solid -1 or -2 penalty.
