Pathfinder RPG rules question?
When using a ranged attack and firing past another creature to your target you suffer a -4 penalty, but if you would have otherwise hit target do you hit creature providing cover instead? i remember there being a rule like this in D&D 3rd ed. but could not find it in PF core rule book. So, do I assume a miss when firing into such a melee is just a miss and no one at all is injured?

Actually, it was second edition that had the 'hit your own ally' rule. (or maybe 3.0, not 3.5).
That rules doesn't exist in Pathfinder. You are technically taking the to-hit penalty to avoid hitting your ally after all.
