Obviously, as levels go up that penalty becomes negligible. Beyond that, though, is something else I've looked into over and over for the last twenty odd minutes and can't confirm one way or another. So I'll put this out there and see if any of you guys can set this record straight before I try to dig deeper.With that kind of range, its very unlikely your targets would be AWARE of you. In other words, its easy to catch opponents Flat-Footed and remove their Dex to Ref Def. Now, my question to this, would the remain through a fight? Say, all of the group is fighting up close EXCEPT our sniper. Would the sniper's shots, if stealth checks succeeded against perception, obviously, CONTINUE to be against a flat footed target even though the enemy would NOT be flat footed to the rest of the group?My instinct in this one says 'yes', which would, in a sense, give the weapon a bit more of a bonus than it seems initially.EDIT: Obviously this would require going out of the way to get to keep range while others in the group moved closer, but this could actually fit in fairly well with what I have worked out already. The hard part here is finding the right balance to make this weapon usable but not TOO much. I definitely think this is the closest its reached to that, though I'm a still obviously willing to keep tweaking it.</blockquote>
