Close-Quarters Thrower (Combat) and penalty

[redviiper]

If my character has this feat and stands right in front of a flanked opponent (within a 5ft melee distance) does he still take the -4 for firing into melee or would my character still need precise shot to remove the -4 penalty?

I would think that you would still need Precise Shot, as you are still technically using a ranged weapon, and firing into combat.

If you are the only character in melee with the target, I wouldn't penalize you the -4 (I assume you can get out of your own way).

If other characters are in melee with the target, I probably would. However, being next to the target means you don't take cover penalties, so that should help.

Thanks. So it seems Ill be going Point-Blank Precise then dodge weapon focus and close quarters.
