Telekinesis and Remote Shooting

KingStrongbeard · 07-12-2015, 08:09 AM

So a situation has come up in a play-by-post game I am GMing, and I'm not sure how it should be resolved.

Two characters are involved in a sword fight. One of them has a Compartmentalized Mind and several levels of Telekinesis. A number of yards away from where they are fighting, there is a ranged weapon.

While they are fighting the character with the CM uses his TK to pick up the gun, and wants to use it to shoot his opponent. The TK has Visible, and the character to be shot at made a PER roll to notice, so they will get to defend.

My question is, what, if any, penalty should the shooter take in order to hit?

Range from the gun to the target is obvious, but what else?

He can see his target, and "feel" his gun with his Telekinesis. But he can't see from the guns point of view. No HUD or any sort of magic remote senses for that.

If the answer is in one of my books, I haven't been able to find it. If the answer is written someplace, where can I find it, and if it isn't what penalty seems reasonable to you?
