My group is having some debate on measuring range (distance) for using ranged weapons. I am hoping I can get some feedback on how others handle it in their games.
A dagger has a range of 10ft. Consider the following setups:
[ ] = 5ft square
[H] = PC
[M] = Monster
Setup 1:
[H][M][ ][ ]
Setup 2:
[H][ ][M][ ]
Setup 3:
[H][ ][ ][M]
Of the above three setups, which is the one where the monster is considered 10ft away (the maximum a dagger can be thrown *without* incurring a penalty)?
Thanks for your input.

P.S. For what its worth, I personally consider setup 3 to be the farthest a dagger can be thrown *without* incurring a penalty. I get this from measuring the distance *between* the two occupied squares, but I have no idea if I am really doing it right or not.
