Hello
I have an Archer and, as he approaches attaining "Trick Shot" I've started wondering about the validity of the CMB.
"At 3rd level, an archer can choose one of the following combat maneuvers or actions: disarm, feint, or sunder. He can perform this action with a bow against any target within 30 feet, with a –4 penalty to his CMB. Every four levels beyond 3rd, he may choose an additional trick shot to learn. These maneuvers use up arrows as normal."
Why does the guide specify using CMB? CMB is based upon strength in melee combat - as opposed to the dexterity necessary to the archer's specialised ranged combat. Is this possibly a mistake or perhaps an oversight?
Agile Maneuvers leaps out as a solution to the problem...but that strikes me more as an "expensive" work-around...
Any advice is appreciated!
Cheers
Tristen
