Ran into this last. Do adjacent figures of a target of EE get hindering bonus for the attack if they occupy hindering?

Thanks for the help.

Page 13 of the rule book:

Line of Fire: Hindering terrain impedes line of fire. If a line of fire between two characters on the same elevation crosses a square of hindering terrain on the elevation at least once, modify the target’s Defense Value by +1 for the attack, unless the only square of hindering terrain crossed is occupied by the attacker.

Adjacent characters would not get the hindering terrain bonus, since the EE attacker isn't trying to draw LOF to them.

However, since it is still a ranged combat attack that they are being hit with, Super Senses and Energy Shield/Deflection would work normally.

Thanks.
Thats exactly how it was ruled last night.
Good to know
