That's my suggestion for the Deepwood Sniper enhancement line, opinions? I was trying my best to make it useful but not overpowered, and to take into account Manyshot, but Debilitating Shot might be a bit overboard while using manyshot(which is why it gets a 20 second timer)

Hi! just my immediate rhoughts

These abilities you have described for Deepwood Sniper II and III are WAY underpowered compared to other PrE Lines. If these were the abilities of Deepwood Sniper II and III, i personally would never take it. I also think that the abilities you have described are not that exciting or fitting to the concept of a Deepwood Sniper.

Sorry to be blunt. But thats just my oppinion.

If you do an extensive search of the Suggestions Forum you will find a few older Threads that suggested abilities for Deepwood sniper II and III that were both exciting conceptually and at a level of power respectable for a Tier II and III PrE. Have a look for them if you can be bothered, they are worth the read.

Thanks for you post though, and i too hope the Devs add Deepwood Sniper II and III soon. Although i hope these wont be the abilities granted with it
