[QUOTE="DragnLancr, post: 3228031, member: 48123"] I've turned what I've gathered from your input and my own thoughts together to form this new class. Rogue-like, it emphasizes ranged sneak attacking. I'm thinking about adding a special ability that allows a Sniper to sneak attack at a longer range, and/or one that allows sneak attacking mid-combat (such as ranged flanking or an opposed bluff [or other skill] check [like feint]). What do you guys think of what I have so far?
