So I figured I'd asked you all a couple of questions regarding feats/ abilities for the Rogue and Gunslinger, I haven't had much time as of late to dig through books and the SRD as I'd like and thought that some of you may know the answers off the top and this would be really appreciated. Now the answers I'm looking for, I don't want to see anything regarding 3.5, just Pathfinder RAW, if you please.
Rogue: Are there any feats/ abilities, currently, that will allow a Rogue to sneak attack/ flank at greater distance? How does sniping work in regards to this. Is there a way to flank without being A. Directly on top of an opponent in melee, or with a reach weapon, I'm talking are there any ranged flanking feats/ abilities ?
Gunslinger: Similar questions, can you ranged flank an opponent with guns ? Or is there a ranged feat that allows for turning guns into attack of opportunity weapons. I read some where on here that there were feats you could take to not provoke attacks of opportunity when firing or reloading, what are they ?
Think that covers my questions for the moment, thank you. =)
For the rogue I'm fairly certain that there isn't anything that lets you flank from range much the pity, it might give them some versatility. I'm pretty sure sneak attacking at range even when able thru flat footed foes and such is limited to 30'.
For the gunslinger pretty much the same things apply. Now as for them making attacks of opportunity, there is a feat line that allows this. Snap shot is the start, which lets you make AoO's with ranged weapons just like they were melee. Improved snap shot extends your threatened space by 10' for a total of a 15' range around you which you count as threatening for AoO's. I dont know for sure but I believe there are feats or abilities that stop you from provoking while reloading at least, just dont know what it is for sure.

Deft Shootist is a feat that allows you to burn Grit to avoid AoOs. Hopefully you don't need to use it every round.
wow, ouch and more ouch, I can't wait for Pathfinder 1.5 >_< Seriously a feat that allows you to burn through a limited resource to avoid doing what you do best... redundant... but I stumbled upon Point Blank Master, too bad it's not available to anyone other than Fighter/Gunslinger/Ranger...Snap Shot seems meh, SS needs to be 10 feet, and GS needs to be another 10-20 feet, I mean, feat drain, seriously ?
Looking at the APG I think I figured out how to handle a sniper rogue, is there a faq somewhere regarding APG and other books as the new ones come out bringing new concepts and game design with them ?
