Doing the best imitation of myself
I'm playing a 3.5 game at the moment after a very long time, and one of our party members is turning to grappling opponents to lock them down. This is great as I'm an Arcane Trickster who does ray attacks and tries to get sneak attack with them.
The problem is that when they're grappled, there's this 50/50 chance of who I'm going to hit with a ranged attack. I see my only option for continuing to stay at a safe range is to get Improved Precise Attack. The problem with that is that ... I can get the +11 BAB pre-req by just about the end of the campaign. It has been a really long time since I played/ran 3.5 so I'm not remembering if there are any other options to get around this. Any ideas?
I'd be happy with a magic item or other feat option that I might be able to use to get there. If there isn't one, I'll just concentrate more on being Batman, since I had all but forgotten how amazing wizards are.
