Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kai Lord" data-source="post: 355576" data-attributes="member: 3570">For a character who already has Point Blank Shot and Ambidexterity, TWF gives you the exact same thing as Rapid Shot.A 1st level fighter can get PBS/RS easier than Ambidexterity and TWF, because Ambidexterity has a high Dex prereq.  Never mind the fact that I never stated I was switching out both Ambidexterity and TWF for both PBS and RS.But the "balance" issue being brought up by some is a complete nonissue.  If a Ranger with Rapid Shot and Ambidexterity is "unbalanced" compared to a Ranger with TWF and Ambidexterity, then a 1st level Fighter who spends his two feats on Ambidexterity and TWF is unbalanced compared to the fighter who buys PBS and RS.  Utter nonsense.So if I swapped out TWF for Quickdraw then it would be balanced?  That's crazy.  It still frees up a slot that can be used for Rapid Shot anyway.I definitely appreciate everyone's input, but when I first posted I was under the impression I would be making a specific House Rule and was just deciding which feat I should trade with TWF, and I wanted it to be one that was equivalent or weaker.  The whole debate over whether or not RS is more powerful than TWF is moot; Far Shot, Precise Shot, and Quickdraw are all less useful than TWF so if I thought RS was too much I'd just trade TWF with one of the three lesser feats.Saying Rapid Shot = Ambidexterity + TWF is silly and wrong anyway, because without PBS you ain't gettin' RS.  So we're back to 2 feats = 2 feats.  Anyway, it doesn't matter, what I want is wholly and completely covered within the Core Rules; no variants, no House Rules, nothing.</blockquote>
