Say I'm fighting in a ballroom or something, and I want to drop the chandelier on my enemies. I want to fire an arrow and sever the rope from 100' away-- a very Robin Hood move, something you'd expect to need skill for.
The way I read the rules, a rope has an armor class of 13. (10 -5 (no dex) +8 (size Fine)). If I take a full-round action to line up the shot, I get an additional +5 to hit.
In effect, I only need to roll an 8 to hit the rope, without any bonuses. A first-level wizard, with 10 Dex and a crossbow, would make that shot more than half the time! Is it supposed to be this easy, or have I missed yet another rule?
