There is a player in my campagin, 4th level elven ranger, 20 dex, has point blank, precise and rapid shot, uses a mighty composite longbow (+2 str bonus). Thus he is pretty much death with the bow.
My question, precise shot eliminates the firing into melee penalty. Since this is pretty much all he ever does, the it is a tremendous bonus. The biggest problem I have is it's not range dependent. I can understand within 30 feet being able to use the feet to avoid the penalty, but lets say you're firing into melee from 180 feet away? The only penalty is the -2 range bonus, despite the fact that it would be absolutely impossible to determine where the combatants would be by the time the arrow arrives.
Shouldn't this feat be limited to the range of point blank?
