And an 8th level character should decimate a 4th. A melee character will kill that 4th level character in one round probably!Is that a variant rule? I'm not up on those very well.Bzzzt! Wrong! If the archer takes a full round action to attack, then he is at most 5' away from you. Take a 5' step and full attack him right back. Sure, you can't charge, but taking cover? No no, you step up and whollop him.The next round he takes another 5' step back and attacks again. Making him 5' away from you again.EDIT:Okay to clarify!You cannot move and take a 5' step in the same round. If you move, you will provoke an AoO.You cannot full attack and move in the same round. If you use iterative attacks or rapid shot, then you cannot take a move action. You can only 5' step at the most. A full attack is a full round action. The only way to get more than one attack per round as a standard action with a bow is manyshot, that is why the feat exists.</blockquote>
