Pathfinder 1E Far Shot and Firearms

[Light Knight]

How do they mix?

 

[Nikosandros]

Normally. The feat grants its benefit with all ranged weapons, including firearms.

 

[Light Knight]

Even though RAW it specifically reduces -2 to -1? And doesn't say reduces by -1? I didn't see any updated one in ultimate combat.

 

[Nikosandros]

I'm obviously missing something here. Firearms have the normal -2 penalty for each full range increment, so why should Far Shot be amended when dealing with them?

 

[Light Knight]

Yes, sorry, my bad, didn't do enough research into the players question.

They are playing a sniper archetype. It has accuracy at 1st level...which reduces penalties to -1/2 per increment. Would Far shot further reduce? Be ignored? or would you apply far shot first, then the accuracy giving you -1 every other range increment?

Looks like those two don't stack - both reduce the penalty to a fixed amount, rather than reducing it by a fixed amount. So, just use the better one.
