The games are similar to classic RPG games such as Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Pathfinder is a tabletop RPG based off of the 3.5 Ruleset of Dungeons and Dragons. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is the second adaption of a Pathfinder Adventure Path. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is the first Pathfinder game to make it to the PC. I'm not as familiar with them.The subreddit for all things Pathfinder CRPG. ![]() This inspires me to glance at kineticists and a certain vigilante archetype, to see how it applies. Unless there is a FAQ stating that all ranged spells that require a to-hit roll are considered weapons, then per the rules only rays are considered ranged weapons (possibly there could be specific spells that say there are, but they would be exceptions to the rule.) Rays can benefit from weapon focus, pbs, and precise shot, and do take penalties fired into melee without the feat. So spells other than rays that require a to-hit roll do not suffer that penalty. However (and thank you for this thread teaching me) under the rules on shooting into melee, it specifically says 'ranged weapon' again. Cover and concealment apply to all ranged attacks. More specifically they cannot use precise shot and pbs for most spells because the feats say 'ranged weapon' Deadly Aim does not, so it will work with any ranged attack that isn't a touch attack (which includes things other than spells). From a balance standpoint, I think you would want to make the spellcaster invest in two feats rather than just giving them the benefit of the two feats for free. After all, the penalty only applies to ranged weapons. However, if you argue that they are not synonymous, then you are necessarily also saying that a range touch attack from a spell does not suffer the -4 penalty for aiming at a target engage in melee with a friendly. It seems that ranged attacks are synonymous with range weapons given that the title starts off with range attacks and then goes on to talk about ranged weapons. Precise Shot: If you have the Precise Shot feat, you don't take this penalty. There is no penalty for firing at a creature that is three size categories larger than the friendly characters it is engaged with. If your target is two size categories larger than the friendly characters it is engaged with, this penalty is reduced to –2. If your target (or the part of your target you're aiming at, if it's a big target) is at least 10 feet away from the nearest friendly character, you can avoid the –4 penalty, even if the creature you're aiming at is engaged in melee with a friendly character. (An unconscious or otherwise immobilized character is not considered engaged unless he is actually being attacked.) Two characters are engaged in melee if they are enemies of each other and either threatens the other. ![]() If you shoot or throw a ranged weapon at a target engaged in melee with a friendly character, you take a –4 penalty on your attack roll. Some ranged weapons have shorter maximum ranges, as specified in their descriptions. For projectile weapons, it is 10 range increments. The maximum range for a thrown weapon is five range increments. With a ranged weapon, you can shoot or throw at any target that is within the weapon's maximum range and in line of sight.
