[QUOTE="Talic, post: 2921313, member: 27838"] I like it. Just a couple comments. Your bonus feat selection. I always like having options available like this. But Improved Critical probably doesn't need to be on there. It doesnt stack with keen effects, and you get that at first level anyway(unless you intend it to, in which case specify that in the Keen Arrows description). Also, you could add the Woodland Archer tactical feat from Races of the Wild to the list. The PHB2 feat Penetrating Shot(? the one that turns your ranged attack into a line), might be a good addition as well. Close Combat shot is something I don't see as a valid tactic for a sniper. That being said, I dont think the ability unbalances the class either. Just a personal flavor choice. Power Shot is an interresting take. On one hand, you're reducing your chance to hit, but the sniper is supposed to be an expert marksman. On the other hand, you're doing more damage, and the sniper is supposed to make his shots count like that. I think I like it. One thing I am warry about is granting full ranger spellcasting progression. I know the ranger spells arent that hot, but its certainly got some usefull ones. You're already getting some pretty intense abilities with the PRC, especially the critical increases and close combat shot. I guess it's not a terribly unbalancing thing, but it might be a bit much. Well done. [/QUOTE]
