[QUOTE="aco175, post: 5497828, member: 27385"] I would guess the best solution would be to come up with a simple mechanic that is easy to understand and use. It won't be the most lifelike and accurate, but it should cover most situations and still be fun to play. Aim to get the whole thing to less than a paragraph. I like the idea of having a move action to aim and the standard action to shoot, minor reload. Max range of 10x base range is simple to figure out for each weapon. Allowing a shot each round may make up for the fact you are not going to kill a monster each round, unless a minion- then it just becomes fun. If a character gets 4-5 attacks off before the enemy closes might not make a big difference if the rest of the encounter is good enough. Seems there should be a feat,skill or power to get it though. You would think the wizard guild would pick up on this and make something of their own, since they may end up being the target most times. Maybe an implement you can use along the same lines. Maybe it is tied to a certain spell or group of spells- although the later is more 3e. [/QUOTE]
