This situation has come up the last few sessions. I made a decision which I think is correct but I just wanted to double check with some people that have greater Rules Knowledge Fu than me.
When shooting into melee you normally incur a -4 to hit. This can be negated with the Precise Shot feat. What happens if the baddie that is in melee has cover from your ally? See below:
x ----------- Bad Guy
0 ----------- Ally
0 ----------- Archer with Precise Shot
Does the bad guy get a +4 AC due to your ally granting him cover or is that what the -4 for shooting into melee takes into account?
