Utilizing the rules stated in the Ranged Tactics Toolbox
"While making a ranged attack, you can ignore any cover bonuses to AC, including total cover, unless the target also has cover from above, such as a roof or forest canopy. When using this feat, treat your target as if it were one range increment farther away. You can’t use this feat unless you have headroom equal to at least half the attack’s range."
What is the correct usage of Lob Shot with a bow? What are the rules for its usage indoors?
I have played one PFS session where I utilized the bow taking the range increment penalty as if it were one increment farther away and as the standard height was 15 feet I was only able to utilize the feat on shots 30 feet and under.
Next time I tried to use it the ruling was that I could only use it at 100 feet. As that was the range increment's distance and 50 feet of headroom was needed. Which indoors is dependent on the type of structure.
Just trying to use the rule correctly. I figured the first one was correct as the last sentence states using half of the attack's range. And I interpret that as whatever the range of the attack take half and that is the amount of headroom you need to use it. The second example was to interpret "attack's range" as the weapons range not the range of the attack. Did not see this anwywhere else except when mentioned as magical or without a bow and they didn't cover this in either. I appreciate any help I can receive, I really wanted to use this aspect in my build.
