[QUOTE="Norfleet, post: 1169299, member: 11581"] A piddly +1 bonus for all that effort is simply laughable, considering that +1 makes little or no difference, and for all the attacks you ARE giving up for it, you're more likely to cause more damage simply by firing away flat out. Making two or more attacks rolls is generally worth more than +1 to a single attack roll, particularly as this "aiming" doesn't derive any other forms of collateral benefit, like a headshot. It would be more useful if aiming allowed you to, as an FRA, trade all of your iterative attacks for a single attack at the combined bonus of all of the BAB you traded in for it. So if a fighter at +14/+9/+4 does the "aiming" thing and has a dexterity of 18, for a +4, he performs a single attack at +31, instead of 3 attacks at +18/+13/+8. [/QUOTE]
