Furious Focus for ranged attacks


Homebrew and House Rules


Furious Focus allows you to ignore the penalty from Power Attack on your first attack in the round if wielding a two-handed weapon or one-handed weapon in two hands . But I was wondering if Furious Focus could theoretically be combined instead with Deadly Aim. Being that most ranged weapons used are two-handed if not at least one-handed it seems to make sense to me. Deadly Aim is just the ranged equivalent of Power Attack. Should I cross my fingers that Ultimate Combat answers this question with a new feat or is this more of a home brew issue?

Silver Crusade

Benefit: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all
melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain
a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls.

Power attack only works in melee.

Calagar, I think he's aware of that. However, Deadly Aim works *like* Power Attack, except with ranged weapons (-1 to hit, +2 to damage).

I think it is reasonable to assume that there might be a feat similar to Furious Focus for ranged attacks in UC, but can't be sure.

Silver Crusade

Wont know untill in comes out in a few months if they add it. They probly will. But that dose not mean any thing.

I will be surprised if they do actually. Ranged combat already has a big edge over melee combat in that full attacks are always possible, it woul be better for the melee guys to get some tricks the rangers don't get equivalency for.

+1 Agreed.
