Hunter’s Aim 2e


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion

The Exchange

This takes two actions for one precise attack,

But, if you take another attack with your 3rd action is that attack at a -5 or -10 penalty?


It counts as 1 attack, so -5


If an action counts as multiple attacks, it will generally say so, such as Vicious Swing.

Vicious Swing wrote:
You unleash a particularly powerful attack that clobbers your foe but leaves you a bit unsteady. Make a melee Strike. This counts as two attacks when calculating your multiple attack penalty. If this Strike hits, you deal an extra die of weapon damage. If you’re at least 10th level, increase this to two extra dice, and if you’re at least 18th level, increase it to three extra dice.

A flurry ranger can make three attacks at +0/-3/-4 with a Hunted Shot + Hunter's Aim routine. Kinda cool if you ask me.

Agreed.

For a bit more technical details, activities like Vicious Swing that only have one Strike subordinate action have to specify that they count as two attacks when calculating Multiple Attack Penalty.

For anything that doesn't specify that, count the number of subordinate actions with the Attack trait, such as Strike or Trip.

In the case of Hunter's Aim, it only has one subordinate Strike action, so it still only counts as one.

No, they're both flourishes.

Only Hunted Shot. Hunter's Aim isn't a flourish.

When using Hunter's Aim, does a firearm count as a ranged attack weapon?

Yes, all firearms are ranged weapons.

Of course, they are just weapons and they are thus far all ranged.

We really only have
- Melee and Ranged
- Weapon, Unarmed and Spell/Impulse Attacks
to choose from.

Scare to Death says, "hi".

Bah. Such a missed opportunity.

It should be "Scare to Death says, 'Boo!'"
