[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5121696, member: 35909"] Another good point, nothing's holding you to stay in melee. No xp penalty, but it does prevent you from ever raising scout again without suffering xp penalties (especially since you can't raise monk again, even if you wanted to). Maybe you don't care about that, I'd find it annoyingly restrictive. Let me get this straight...NPC already has you in melee, you're going to dance around to get your skirmish damage so your melee attacks actually do decent damage. Instead of using that same movement to just...I don't know...[b]get out of melee[/b] and shoot the sucker? DC 15 Tumble is not terrifically hard. The only other scenario I can visualize where melee would come up is if you thought it would be a good idea to toss away all your feats and bow training, and all the money you poured into the bow, so that you could go in and mix it up with fisticuffs, actually seeking out melee. If I've misread your logic, please correct me. [/QUOTE]
