Cover Rules

[Archade]

Hi all,

One of my players have challenged a cover rule I recall but cannot find.

If shooting into melee, we have always played if someone provides hard cover (+4 AC) there is a chance to hit your ally if you miss by the cover amount, and the coverer's AC is subject to being hit. Where can I find this rule? Was it phased out in 3.0?

Striking cover is a Variant rule found in the 3.5 DMG.

Thanks! I knew I had read it somewhere ...
