[QUOTE="Gnimish88, post: 1209371, member: 15041"] Just to be the lone voice in the woods, I personally would go with the Point Blank Shot/Precise Shot route for the following reason: If you make any kind of habit of using ray spells in while allies are in close combat, that -4 to hit just about negates their usefulness, even with a high dex and a size bonus. If you really want to make your ranged touch better, hitting more often is about the best way. By way of example, for the halfling in question, assuming a Dex of 20 (the BAB may be off, as I don't have PHB handy): 2(BAB)+4(Dex. Bonus)+1(Size Bonus)=+7 to hit or 2(BAB)+4(Dex. Bonus)+1(Size Bonus)-4(shooting into melee)=+3 to hit I will grant that the Metamagic feats are pretty nice and I especially like Energy Subsitution. If you are considering feats, you might look at Persistant Spell (if I remember the name correctly) which makes a spell last 24 hours. It requires the Extended Spell Feat. Just my 2 cp. [/QUOTE]
