[QUOTE="MasterOfHeaven, post: 76892, member: 196"] I disagree with this, although it is of course your game. When you give a PC Point Blank Shot and Rapid Shot you are increasing their power when using ranged weapons. When you give a PC TWF and Ambidexterity you are only giving them the option of using that style, and interestingly enough, it is not as effective as using a two handed weapon unless the character plans to take one level of Ranger and then go straight into Rogue. I don't see why so many people think that just because Rangers have TWF and Ambidexterity they are required to use two weapons. A Ranger is actually more effective wielding a two handed weapon or a weapon and shield style than he is using the TWF style, but people almost always use the TWF style because the RAnger has bonus feats that allow him to do so. Because of the way TWF works in 3rd Edition, the bonus feats do not give an increase in power to the Ranger so much as another option that may or may not be as good as wielding a two handed weapon or a weapon and shield. But this has been gone over a hundred times and more. I think I'm going to bow out of this debate, the ground has been covered enough times already. [/QUOTE]
