In ranged combat you can hit targets behind other creatures
You can shoot through creatures that are between you and your target without damaging them.

Might make sense if the blocking creature is small (ie. shooting over them), but happens with all creatures.

I think you can't shoot through large or larger enemies (at least with a medium sized character - don't know if it's different for other sized characters).

Well, as an example I had a grey elf archer, large gnoll (i think) blocking, rat as target. Didn't seem to discriminate based on what creatures they were in general. Will test more though.

Gnolls are medium, I think - large gnolls, bugbears, ogres, etc. will block missiles IIRC.

EDIT: Oops, didn't notice you said large gnoll.

As a mountain dwarf archer large gnolls and bugbears blocked my shots.

Gotcha. It's entirely possible it was a regular gnoll and I just remember wrong.

Since it looks like this report is unnecessary, is there a way to remove the thread?

I don't think so, but you can reduce the priority of the issue.
