The Deepwood Sniper lives for long ranges, right? To take advantage of his 200ft or so range incriment, he needs to be able to Rapid Shot at folks 500' or so away. The problem is that initial encounter distances are rarely that far away. Granted with some few exceptions, most encounters I've been in have started within 100'. So if the encounter distance isn't lengthened, the DWS is up the creek, since they mostly get long-range bennies.But if the encounter distance is lengthened, then the rest of the party is just going to be twiddling their thumbs while the bad guys are pared down by the DWS.Despite how cool snipers are, this class is one of those PrCs that was clearly written for DMs to use against the party, because the encounter mechanics don't suit a PC playing one of these guys.</blockquote>
