I have been looking at the Archer Fighting Style for Rangers, and I want to make it a viable fighting style choice.
As it is right now, everybody (that I know) who wants an archer type ranger takes one of the other builds (Two-weapon, Beastmaster, etc.) and then goes on building a ranged heavy version of that build.
After looking at the Paragon Paths available only to Archer Fighting Style, I see some good paths that are good, but not compelling enough to make that a reason to take the Archer Fighting Style.
So I would like to propose changing the Archer Fighting Style to the following.
What are the potential problems with this change?

Archer Fighting Style
When you use a projectile weapon such as a bow or a crossbow to make a ranged attack, you do not provoke attacks of opportunity from the target or targets of the attack.
Also, since your focus is on archery, you gain the feat Far Shot as a bonus feat.
