Point bank and Precise Shot

[ralantar]

I feel I have seen this brought up before but a quick search of this forum didn't pop anything out at me.
I'm not a big fan of house rules. And try to keep them at a minimum but I wanted to get feedback on the following idea.

Precise shot and Point blank:
Remove the Prerequisite for Precise Shot.
Everything else for Precise Shot stays the same.

Point Blank: add "Your Ranged attacks no longer provoke attacks of Opportunity."

thoughts?

I honestly don't think those changes will break the game and convince everyone to play an archer. Make the changes, run a campaign or a few adventures, and see what the outcome is.

I don't recommend it. This is a level 9 archer fighter ability, given at level 1.

Kudos for making PBS not a boring bonus though.

archer fighter ability? is that an archetype? I'm not sure what you are referring to.

Yes, archetype. I never know how to refer to those.

Ahh i see it, in the APG. well crap, this is why I try to avoid house rules. Hmmm... My intention was to break the prerequisite between them. But by itself then Point Blank is pointless..

It really just comes across as a feat tax.

Archetype class features? Umm, I just refer to the archetype as I would the class and call it a class feature.

In your example, I'd say it's an Archer's class feature.
