[QUOTE="Malin Genie, post: 809185, member: 1058"] For the record, I play a ranger using a longspear. Took Combat Reflexes as my first Feat. Do I feel that the Ranger should have been given a 'spear-fighting' option? Not particularly. If I wanted to be the best spear-fighter ever I'd have taken some fighter levels. Are the bonus Feats 'wasted'? No - they [i]still provide options.[/i] When fighting Thoqqua my spear was badly burnt - one more hit and it would have fallen to cinders. Pulled out a couple of daggers - voila*, effective again. In a bare-knuckle brawl; double the attacks (plus the Combat Reflexes were delightful with all those AoOs going on...) I think it's already been pointed out, but it's very likely the 'archery' path will involve generic ranged Feats (such as PBS/PS) which are equally applicable to thrown weapons. Just bear in mind - even if your primary style is not one for which you gain bonus Feats; they still provide versatility and a back-up style. *To the Francophones on the board - how do you get accents to appear in your posts?
