Message: <blockquote data-quote="Uber Dungeon" data-source="post: 5411593" data-attributes="member: 87133">I'm just wondering what anyone thinks about The Order of the Bow Initiates Ranged precision +1d8 ability, would it apply to a Desert throwing-knife? (sandstorm p.96) Setting aside the name of the class, a Desert throwing-knife  is  a  ranged weapon and the ability only specifies ranged weapon.Ranged Precision (Ex):As a standard action, an initiate may make a single precisely aimed attack with a ranged weapon, dealing an extra 1d8 points of damage if the attack hits. When making a ranged precision attack, an initiate must be within 30 feet of his target. An initiate’s ranged precision attack only works against living creatures with discernible anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits (including undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures) is not vulnerable to a ranged precision attack, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits (such as armor with the fortification special ability) also protects a creature from the extra damage. Unlike with a rogue’s sneak attack, the initiate’s target does not have to be flat-footed or denied its Dexterity bonus, but if it is, the initiate’s extra precision damage stacks with sneak attack damage. Treat the initiate’s ranged precision attack as a sneak attack in all other ways. The initiate’s bonus to damage on ranged precision attacks increases by +1d8 every two levels. An initiate can only use this ability with a ranged weapon for which he has taken the Weapon Focus feat.</blockquote>
