Ricochet Shot Deed from d20pfsrd wrote:

Prerequisite: Grit class feature or Amateur Gunslinger feat, Blind-Fight.

Benefit: You can fire a shot at a wall or piece of solid terrain, and have it ricochet off. When you do, use the square immediately in front of the wall or piece of solid terrain to determine line of sight to a target, and this square is considered the new origin square of the attack. Use that square to determine the effects of cover, and your own square to determine the effects of concealment. You can make this shot as long as you have at least 1 grit point. When making this shot, you can spend 1 grit point to ignore the effects of all cover or concealment. You must choose to spend the grit point before you make the attack roll.

That last point about spending grit to "ignore the effects of all cover or concealment" has me thinking, what are the limits of that?

Say I'm in the corridor of a room and I know there's a guy in the corner, can I bounce a bullet off the wall to hit him by spending grit? I can't even see the guy, but I know he's there.
Another scenario, there's someone right in front of me and they cast deeper darkness or obscuring mist or something else concealing. Can I just ricochet a bullet off the floor to ignore all that mist? (Spending grit of course.)
Do I even need to know someone's there to make an attack on them?
Can I spend that grit to hit an invisible enemy?

Thanks very much.


Bump, i wonder bout the same


If you can pinpoint the enemy's location or guess the correct square to attack, then yes, you could hit the creature in the dark or the invisible creature. The ricochet shot deed doesn't affect your Perception, only your ability to hit the thing you're aiming for. You still have to actually aim for something.
