Point Blank Shot gives an extra point of damage, in addition to a +1 to hit, as you all know. How would this work for a spell like Ray of Enfeeblement? Does it do an extra point of Strength damage? Does it add a point of normal damage, even though the spell does not normal deal any normal (HP) damage? Or does it simply give +1 to attack rolls and no bonus damage?
More generally, do you think it is useful for a wizard to take Point Blank and Precise Shot feats? On the plus side, it would increase the wizard's effectiveness in casting some spells AND in normal attacks, with a crossbow for example. On the minus side, there are other feats that might arguably be more useful to a wizard, given the fact that a wizard is never going to be your best archer anyway.
