Message: <blockquote data-quote="mkletch" data-source="post: 397828" data-attributes="member: 3396">If you are depending on a +1 or +2 bonus difference to turn the tide, you are probably screwed anyway.  If my Will save were two points higher, it would only rarely be noticed.  If my damage were +1 higher per attack, OK, that might be 5-7 points per round.  Against creatures with 100's of hit points, and when my attacks already do 100-150 points of damage on a bad round, who cares.  A +1 or +2 to spot because of a higher wisdom is unnoticable when you have 15-20 ranks in spot.  Little bonuses cease to matter, except in exceptionally rare circumstances, above 12th level.A creature with reach will typically advance to the limit of its reach.  If it stands right in your face, you have other options.  You can always just take the AoO, then shoot it five or six times.  Seems like a fair trade to me.I do, however, like my seeker arrow, phase arrow, and hail of arrows.  They let me do things I cannot do otherwise.  An extra 17 points of damage from the occasional ranged sneak attack is irrelevant in the big picture.  And using bank shot to deliver this extra 17 damage is worthless, since I have to give up three or four other attacks, any one of which will do double that in damage.Hey, if you like the class, take it.  Personally, I feel that OoBI lacks flavor and uniqueness.  Then again, I like Mountain Dew at room temperature, so everybody has their own preference.-Fletch!</blockquote>
