Change Environment effects on characters outside them

[randian]

Consider a Change Environment that, for example, increases the range modifier penalty or imposes a perception roll penalty. Do characters outside the area of the change environment suffer that penalty when firing at or perceiving targets in the area covered by the Change Environment?

[Steve Long]

Yes, assuming the Change Environment has the Area Of Effect Advantage so that it affects more than one person. The penalty would apply to anyone attacking/perceiving into, out of, or through the affected Area, unless the GM rules otherwise.
