New Feat Sniper

Sniper

Prereqs oint Blank Shot, Precise Shot, BAB 6+

With this feat, you are able to deal extra damage to your foes by taking careful aim and shooting them in critical areas. As a full round action, you can fire an arrow at your highest attack bonus at a foe. For each iterative attack that you lose using this action you deal an extra +5 damage to your foe. In the case of a critical hit this damage is added after the base damage is calulated.

I don't know... seems off somehow to me... not sure exactly how...

Maybe you should have the person take rounds aiming rather than just loosing attacks... and just the idea of being a "sniper" to me suggests more an idea of careful aim (thus perhaps a + to hit) rather than a + to damage... I guess that's OK, but I guess I'd rather see Maybe a +2 to hit +1 to damage for each round spent aiming before the round you fire the arrow or something. Just my two cents.

Hmmm how about this then?


As a full attack action you may attack once and forgo your iterative attacks to gain a bonus to hit and damage. For each attack that you forgo in a round, you may add +3 to hit and +2 to damage. Creatures immune to criticals do not suffer the extra damage.


I know the +3 seems a bit much, but when you factor in that you are sacrificing multiple attacks for an increase to hit on one, I think it balances.

Why not give the user the ability to deal sneak attack damage beyond 30'? Seems pretty analogous.
