[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 355400, member: 3570"] If that were the case then Rapid Shot would allow a character to use his off-hand to perform a skill or attack. It doesn't. People seem to be under the impression that Ambidexterity is worthless by itself. By that logic then Ambidexerity+Rapid Shot is no more powerful than Rapid Shot by itself. That's not true. The Ranger gets three feats at first level. Regardless of how often anyone thinks they will be used, or how useful they will be when used, for a character who wanted to become a TW Fighter, they just saved him two feat slots right off the bat. Rapid Shot also requires two feats, because it has a prerequisite. So either way, we're talking two slots for the same effect with different weapons. The 1st level Ranger offers +1 BAB, +2 Fort save, two virtual feats that any character could conceivably get at that level, and Track. I'm not advocating changing one single element of that, and the Customization rules on page 94 of the PHB fully allow for changes in flavor. [/QUOTE]
