Snipe (better names always welcome)
Prerequisites: Sneak Attack, Precise Shot, Far Shot
Benefit: The character may make ranged sneak attacks at a range of 60'.
Special: The character can gain this feat multiple times. Each time the character takes the feat, add 30' to the range at which he may make ranged sneak attacks.
Normal: A character may make sneak attacks at a range of up to 30'.
Tell me what you think. It seems fairly balanced to me, since Rogues get feats fairly slowly, each one is a rather large investment. Human rogues can get it at level 3, non-humans at 6th. Even if you are human and take it every level you can, at 18th that will be 210', which at that point is not a big deal for the investment of every single feat you have.
If someone else has already come up with a feat similar to this (I wouldn't be surprised), I'd like to see it.
I came up with this feat because I am contemplating playing a sniper type character in the next campaign I'm in, and it bothered me that I'd have to be practically standing right next to my target in order to be able to snipe at him.
I think I'll probably only end up taking it 2-3 times, in order to get out to 90-120'. That seems like a long enough distance to actually make sniping useful.
