Deepwood Sniper Feat Requirement Change

[Arkat]

Currently, Deepwood Sniper requires (in addition to Point Blank Shot) Weapon Focus: Ranged Weapons.

I would like to suggest Weapon Focus: Thrown Weapons be an alternative qualifying feat so having either WF: Thrown or WF Ranged would qualify you for the PrE.

Sniper Shot currently works for Thrown Weapons (my thrower build has both feats) so I don't see why I had to spend a feat slot on WF: Ranged.

Thanks. :)

Deepwood Sniper, and infact all PrEs and enhancements, are undergoing a radical change that should be coming along sometime in the near future. Feat prerequisites are likewise also going to be fundamentally altered, if they exist at all.

Essentially, at this point making any suggestion for any enhancement based off its current incarnation is similar to suggesting what color to paint the walls of a house that is about to be demolished.

I choose to believe the new Enhancement/PrE system is still a LONG way off. :p


MadFloyd, please prove me wrong.

Regardless of how soon/far off it is, I highly doubt that the dev's will waste time working on the current enhancement system instead of working on the new one. Every man-hour they devote to working on the current system is an extra man-hour they will need to account for on the new system later. Waste of time and resources. Now, if the suggestion were to include weapon focus: thrown as an optional pre-req in the new system, assuming it is even applicable at that point, would be a good suggestion that I would in turn support.

Then a better question would be, why are you wasting any thought on a useless PrE? I think we're hoping it'll be a cool PrE after the pass, but until that happens I fail to see why any character would take deepwood sniper in favor of any other PrE.
