[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 1298692, member: 1622"] I think you're way overreacting. When I was using an archer with Rapid Shot, I always used it in a full attack anyway. It's been proven that the only time you don't want to use Rapid Shot is when you need an 18 or 19 to hit without it. That should be pretty rare. So what we're talking about is a feat that is the third in a chain which gives you +2 to hit while full attacking. What you're saying is equivalent to "But the fighter will never attack without using Greater Weapon Focus!" Why is that a surprise? That's the point! With all the other feats available with ranged weapons, I don't think this one will be a no brainer. In order to really take advantage of this feat, you have to spend a total of 4 feats on ranged combat - precise shot, point blank shot, rapid shot, improved rapid shot. That's a heck of a lot of investment to be able to get one extra attack with a ranged weapon, and you haven't even taken weapon focus yet. Heck, compare it to plain old Precise Shot. That's negating a -4 penalty... twice the benefit, and it only has one prerequisite. So... I really don't see the problem. -The Souljourner [/QUOTE]
