Message: <blockquote data-quote="statimp" data-source="post: 5156816" data-attributes="member: 89550">at first i was going to use a heavy repeating crossbow but then i found the quick reloading enchantment in the arms and equipment book and decided to go with a great crossbow. with that enchantment and rapid reload, loading a great crossbow is a free action. and i can use a large great crossbow (me and the DM both decided that monkey grip would not let you use a huge weapon) which does 3d8 damage and has a crit range of 18-20 x2, much better than it's repeating counterpart. so it out damages greatbows significantly now, especially with crossbow sniper.i was looking through crag top archer again and realized some of the possibilities that i had missed earlier. i thought horizon shot was a once per day ability. i didn't realize i could use it whenever i wanted. so now im going to be taking crag top archer to 4. at deepwood stalker 10/crag top archer 4 ill be able to shoot 4500 feet with no penalty!!!! That is just insane! and it is exactly what i wanted the character to be able to do.so ill reconfigure again to accommodate for crag top archer at an earlier level.a new question i have though is about spot distance. i calculated the DC check for spotting someone from 4500 feet away. with crag top archer it's 225 (WTF). so i'm wondering if that sounds reasonable. because it doesn't sound reasonable to me at all. i have seen people from at least a mile away while on a boat and in good lighting. if i was in a crows nest it would be much easier. are there any rules for spotting distances at sea? maybe i could get a telescope? do those exist? that would be awesome.thanks for all the help.edit: here's my sniper 2.5level 2: take fighter and feat: rapid reloadlevel 3: feat: far shot and feat: point blank shotlevel 4: +1 dexlevel 5: take deepwood sniperlevel 6: take crag top archer and feat: rapid shotlevel 8: +1 dex level 9: feat: precise shotlevel 10: continue taking deepwood sniperlevel 12: +1 dex, feat: crossbow sniperlevel 15: feat: woodland archerlevel 16: +1 dex and level 18: feat: improved rapid shotlevel 19: continue taking fighter and feat: improved precise shotlevel 20: +1 dexhe's certainly starting to look like i want him to.</blockquote>
