Why based a rifle-using character on the pistol-using Gunslinger? Why does the Sniper have Close Quarters Shot? And there weren't enough damage options either.One thing I've used for my campaign is let snipers use "Double Tap" (same feat, but different flavor to approximate a better shot). Alas, the best way to pull of a sniper in the core rules is a Fast/Dedicated/Soldier combo, which doesn't have a great attack bonus.Unfortunately the balance of a sniper is a razor's edge. You can make a PC have a really good first shot, but if that ends the encounter right there it's overpowered. On the other hand, you might have the PC waste several rounds setting up a proper sniper shot for not nearly enough payoff.I've played it a few times, but don't even remember how they were used.</blockquote>
