Recently, a friend was making use of Kuhoun Infestation by simply targeting whatever enemy character he wanted within the 12 range regardless of how many targets he had to choose from and their location. It did not seem right at all. Something kept tugging at me, saying that a target still needs to be the closest target, but I run into Kuhoun Infestation so rarely that I just cannot remember for certain how its targeting properly goes, and the glossary and FAQ don't seem to address it.
Can someone explain it clearly?

This is covered in the FAQ.
Q: If Kouhun Infestation is used against a target not in line of sight, how would that work with the cover and adjacent enemy requirements for targeting enemies?
A: First, if Zam Wesell has an adjacent enemy, she would not be able to use Kouhun Infestation against any nonadjacent target. (This is exactly the same as any other attack or special ability.) Second, a target not in line of sight would automatically be considered to have cover – obviously, it would be impossible to draw an unobstructed line to all parts of the target's space. Thus, Kouhun Infestation can't be used against a target not in line of sight unless that target is also the nearest enemy.

I was going to start a thread on this, but Greybird beat me to it: since infestation doesn't require LOS, can you use it on a target that there is no open spaces between zam and your target? just closed doors and walls, counting through the walls?

Thank you, all! Much appreciated. I had checked my FAQ papers, but they were apparently older than I realized and out of date. I have since printed out the much more current copy of the FAQ available over at the Holocron. All is now right with the world.
