Pathfinder firing into melee question

If the DM ruled that way, that would be a house-rule, not part of actual Pathfinder.

There *was* such a rule in 3.0. It was removed in 3.5, and Pathfinder has not added it back in.

Oh yes yes that would indeed be a house rule. All Pathfinder is worried about is the -4 If I remember right the size of the creature just affects the -4 Not whether you hit them or not on a miss.
I believe thats up to the house rules of the particular GM as far as Paizo is concerned.
