[QUOTE="Archibald Theocliste, post: 2064115, member: 3808"] The Exotic Weapon Master allows you to pick special moves every level. One of them is the Ranged Close Combat Shot that allows you to fire a ranged exotic weapon without provoking AoO. Since the Great Bow from CW is an exotic weapon, you can use it in the same way an OotBI uses a Longbow while threatened. On another note, last session one of my players learned how bad it is to stay to close from your enemies even when you are an OotBI (It was his first archer character in a lv 10 campaign). In their first encounter with a young Rattelyr Dragon in the plains of Shaar (Forgotten Realms) he went crazy with his "no AoO" ability and kept trying to come close enough to benefits from Point Blank Shot... In the second encounter underground, the dragon explained to him how bad it was to use a bow and not having AoO when your oponent try to grapple or disarm you. :) And yes he ended up with a short sword in hand, trying to hold back some undead, leaving the dragon to the other players :D (I think he'll keep a complet set of longbows with him now ^^ ) [/QUOTE]
