[QUOTE="malcolm_n, post: 6084113, member: 63154"] I like that as a maneuver. One thing I need to do is explain clearly what items are automatic or not. I'll be sure to do that. How's this? [B]Suppressive Fire (Combat Maneuver):[/B] Sometimes it becomes necessary to protect your allies from enemy fire. By doing so, you give them a chance to shoot back. As a standard action when wielding at least a semiautomatic weapon (or if you have the rapid reload feat), target a 20 ft. cone or a 35 ft. line from your current location and make a single CMB check. Until the start of your next turn, creatures with CMD less than your check take a -4 penalty to attack as long as they remain in the area. For this maneuver, add bonuses for cover and concealment to the targets’ CMD. Suppressive Fire draws attacks of opportunity. [B]Feat: Greater Suppressive Fire[/B] [I]You are skilled at keeping your enemies busy so your allies can attack or work unhindered.[/I] Prerequisite: Improved Suppressive Fire, BAB +6. Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on checks made to use suppressive fire. This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by Improved Suppressive Fire. In addition, when an enemy leaves your area of suppressive fire, it still takes a -2 penalty to attacks that round. [B] Feat: Improved Suppressive Fire[/B] [I]You are skilled at keeping your enemies busy so your allies can attack or work unhindered.[/I] Prerequisite: Int 13, Combat Expertise. Benefit: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a suppressive fire combat maneuver. In addition, you receive a +2 bonus on checks made to use suppressive fire. You also receive a +2 bonus to your Combat Maneuver Defense whenever an opponent tries to use suppressive fire against you. Normal: You provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a suppressive fire combat maneuver. [B] Feat: Overwatch[/B] [I]You take careful aim at an enemy you know is hiding.
