[QUOTE="scipio, post: 2062601, member: 16382"] I'm trying to figure out the best use for this enemy NPC. Arcane archer 4/Ranger 6/Sorceror 1, with far shot and a distance long bow (range increment 300') and spot check +29 against humans (half of the PCs are humans). Now, I've done all that I reasonably could to boost that spot check, but is it possible for her to spot the enemy at 5 range increments (1500 feet = +150 to spot DC). If the party is in flat, completely open territory, strolling along, and not hiding - it seems that she should have a chance. Of course, this is where the silliness of favored enemy comes into play - she can see the humans but not the elf walking beside them? I can't seem to figure out what the RAW would say, does anyone know? [/QUOTE]
