Feint

Is this still only a melee thing when bluffing to feint?

Grand Lodge

To be more clear can you feint at range?

Sovereign Court

Envoy can.

Actually, the Bluff skill says nothing about the melee combat with using Feint.

So any character using the Bluff (Feint) skill can also do it with a ranged attack.

This is what I notice but I guess people are thinking Pathfinder (this is a different game), I should move this to rules question? How do I do that?

Quote page 247 on core book:
"Feint
You can use your standard action to feint by attempting a Bluff
check. The DC of this check is equal to either 10 + your opponent’s
Sense Motive total skill bonus or 15 + 1-1/2 × the opponent’s CR,
whichever is greater. You can’t feint against a creature that
lacks an Intelligence score, and you cannot take 10 or take 20
(see page 133 in Chapter 5) on a Bluff check to feint. When you
successfully feint, you treat your opponent as flat-footed for your
next attack against him before the end of your next turn." end quote

So the wording is "next attack" not melee attack as in Pathfinder so range should work
