Doing so is a miscellaneous standard action taht does not draw an attack of opportunity. If you are successful, the next attack you make against the target does not allow him to use his Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any). This attack must be made on or before you next turn. Feinting in this way against a nonhumaniod is difficult because it's harder to read a strange creature's body language; you suffer a -4 penalty. Against a creature of Animal Intelligence (1 or 2) it's even harder; you suffer a -8 penalty. Against a nonintelligent creature, it's impossible.It sounds like what the Rogue is doing is perfectly fine as long as he understands that feinting is a standard action: he cannot attack that round unless he has an extra partial action like that granted by Haste  or the defender incurs an attack of opportunity. Even if he uses the full attack option the next round, only the first attack would add sneak attack damage if it hit.[Edit] Forgot you wanted to know about the ranged attack. There is nothing that says the rogue can't do it, but I would rule that the creature must have the rogue in his primary field of vision, not his peripheral vision (90 degree cone facing forward).</blockquote>
