Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 243453" data-attributes="member: 537">(copied over from test.cyberstreet.com also)I was thinking of the usual crossbow-wielder archetypes when coming up with that feat. An urban assassin/sniper type usually will be a multiclassed rogue/fighter character, with high stats in Dex and Int. Wis is something that religious and contemplative types tend to boost, and besides which is usually associated by players with common sense, inner calm, etc. Not the attributes one typically has in mind for an assassin.Using different stats is also a way of giving each weapon its own flavour, rather than having them all be variations on "ranged attack 1dX damage".For comparison, here's the equivalent feat for a bow wielder:Instinctive ShotYou are one with your bow, enabling you to make difficult shots as if they were routine.Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +6, Point-Blank Shot, Weapon Focus with chosen bow.Benefit: Choose a type of bow (long or short, composite or normal). When using a bow of that type, you can apply double your Wisdom bonus (if any) to negate attack penalties due to range. Note that you do not gain an actual bonus to hit; if the doubled Wisdom modifier is greater than the range penalty, the excess is discarded.Special: This feat may be taken multiple times. Its effects do not stack; each time the feat is taken, it affects a different type of bow.</blockquote>
