Is there any way to get around line of sight? any feat I've overlooked? same question in regards to ranged ops.
Currently a level 2 rogue,multiclassing into fighter(archer) next level, and keeping levels even. my character is planed out until level 10, at which point i will continue gaining only rogue levels.
Having someone in a square between you and your target doesn't break line of sight. It gives a soft cover bonus, but you can still shoot.
Op attack = attack of opportunity? Snap Shot lets you threaten at 5ft with a ranged weapon, and lets you take attacks of opportunity with it. Zen archer monks also get an ability that allows something similar.
If you're looking for something that will let you send an arrow at a wizard who starts casting 30ft away from you, sorry, no way to do that except with a readied action.
They give cover, but don't block LoS.
So you take a -4 penalty to-hit, that's all (until you get Improved Precise Shot).

If you are serious about being ranged, I would recommend Ranger instead of archer fighter. You can get improved precise shot at ranger 6 with the archery combat style. Frankly, you may want to stay pure ranger after this point. Ranged Sneak attacks are incredibly difficult to reliably pull off.
Or he could just go with the Slayer. He would get the option of the same Ranger combat styles and then taking Rogue talents on the other even levels. In addition he would also get some sneak attack damage and a weaker, but at will/any target version of favored enemy.

"Ranger Combat Style (Ex): The slayer selects a ranger combat style (such as archery or two-weapon combat) and gains a combat feat from the first feat list of that style style. At 6th level, he may select this talent again and adds the 6th-level ranger combat feats from his chosen style to the list. At 10th level, he may select this talent again and add the 10th-level ranger combat feats from his chosen style to the list."

Ahh, I see why I missed it. It's a talent. I hope they fix that in the final book.

What is there to fix? It is one of the choices of Slayer Talents. Not sure what you are seeing as a problem.

Snap Shot and Improved snap shot is what you are looking for
