Silver Crusade

Could I get a semioffical ruling on this. I would like to know what the enchanment modfer would be for percise shot just like the feat of the same name. There is already the precedent of Mighty cleaving for melee type combatants.

This needs to be done to prevent the complete nerfing of missle users otherwise in a great many combats the low level, missilers suffer a -8 to hit for most combats -4 for no percise shot and soft cover.

The designers of PF society games need to make the rooms at least 40x40 or 40x20 or it negates missle using characters in combat do to almost always suffering a -8 to hit. Our PFS group almost always has parties of 5 or 6 de to space limitations of where we play. The Rooms I have been told were optimizied for parties of 4 Ths IMO is a poorly thought out by the game designers. In 30+years of gaiming I have never been in a group that played on a normal basis of less than 5 players an a GM most groups have been 5 or more players.

I by no means am anywhere near official, but maybe one day I will begin to approach semi-official, so this is me showing initiative.

I would use the same modifier that is used for mighty cleaving(+1). Keep in mind getting seeking helps you with any kind of concealment or cover the opponent has.

Society only uses things from the book. That enhancement would be homebrew and not allowed. With that aside it a DM in a home game would have to decide on his own.

The -8 is there to balance the fact that archers can potentially outdamage any build since they almost always get a full round attack in as opposed to melee guys. They just have for precise shot, and improved precise shot to get rid of the penalties before the build matures.


A missile user should get Precise Shot, that's what feats are for.

Anyway, as a weapon enhancement a feat is usually +1 or +4000 gp (more if it has many prerequisites), 100% unofficial.
