[QUOTE="Tyrrell, post: 255778, member: 5839"] Zad: 1. Cover doesn't come into play frequently enough for me to bother 2. The bonus of +2 is pretty small given the few times it applies 3. I can generally hit what I want anyway. As far as Zad's points one and two, you can use cover to your advantage by moving around your own party members to force an opponant to take AoO's to get to you and to give them a - 4 to hit you from half cover. You can also let your melee types go in to the fight with less worry regarding leaving you a clear lane through which to fire. You will often still take a -2 becuse of 1/2 cover (rather than -4) but check out Zad's point number three. Don't get me wrong sharpshooter is worth less than precise , point plank, rapid shot, focus, specilization, and (If your DM allows it) improved rapid. Heck I think that even for an archer it's worth less than improved initiative. But if I wanted a smackdown archer it would be next on my list. [/QUOTE]
