[QUOTE="SylverFlame, post: 636957, member: 8423"] Deset and Rackhir both said that archers attack bonuses are nuts, so giving them a ranged power attack is bad. What are you two talking about? A 3rd level fighter has the same BAB whether it's using melee or ranged weapons. BAB is determined by class not weapon, ability or anything else for that matter. As such, I don't see why archers shouldn't get the Power Shot feat as posted as long as it's requirements match power attack. In fact, power attack will always be better than Power Shot, and the reason is Power Attack works with any melee weapon, axe sword or whatever, power shot ONLY works with Bows. And mighty composite bows at that. That means the character is using a feat to focus on a mighty composite bow (which every archer worth their salt has anyway, i realize this). If a char wants to give a feat slot to this, I say let them. Besides, under most circumstances bows don't do a whole lot of damage.
