The fresh new tips, tricks, and tactics in this volume enable your Pathfinder RPG character to perform a huge variety of daring deeds from a distance--whether you're launching fearsome warning shots at distant foes, hurling axes that swirl with cyclonic energy, or shooting your bow while clinging to a rope with your legs. Ranged Tactics Toolboxis a player-focused manual that makes the most of your ranged weapons, spells, and abilities, in addition to providing a plethora of new rules options to make you even more formidable in combat.
Inside this book, you'll find: Tips on how best to fight in ranged combat, including suggestions for specific rules options that can give you the edge as well as tactics available to all characters.
Dozens of new magic ranged weapons, weapon special abilities, ammunition, and wondrous items to fling at your foes or protect you from distant attackers. Over 20 new feats to bolster your combat prowess at range, including combat, teamwork, and metamagic feats. An illustrated guide that provides terminology for various parts of iconic ranged weapons such as bows, crossbows, and pistols.
Tons of new spells, equipment, weapon types, character options such as magus arcana and ranger traps, and much, much more! This Pathfinder Player Companionis intended for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and the Pathfinder campaign setting, but can easily be incorporated into any fantasy world. Converted by: Scott Geeding Released on May 05, The section on special tactics looks at unusual circumstances in encounters, such as fighting while climbing or using illusions in combat.
As well as some new feats like Clinging Climber which lets you cling to your climbing surface with just your legs and feet, freeing up both hands for combat and Friendly Fire Manoeuvres a teamwork feat which makes your allies not provide soft cover for your enemies , the section also contains several new ranger traps. The centre two pages of the book contain schematics of several ranged weapons, including longbows, shortbows, various kinds of crossbows, and the double-barrel pistol. A sidebar discusses weapon histories and how you can add additional flavour to a game by describing the specific materials your characters weapons are made from.
While these sorts of details don't have any mechanical effects on the game, they add a lot of colour and can significantly enhance the play experience. I really like these centre pages. The second half of the book focuses on new equipment and magic items, including new kinds of ranged weapons.
In particular, I rather like the magic ammunition section. There has always been a large variety of magical weapons in the game, but ammunition is less well-represented, even though it's much easier and cheaper to carry a large variety of ammunition than it is a variety of weapons.
The ammunition included here include things like vulnerability bolts , which make any poison placed on them more potent, and boulder bullets , which are sling bullets that expand to boulder size when launched and behave like siege weapons. There is also a sidebar containing a list of creatures with ranged attacks that can be summoned with summon monster or summon nature's ally spells.
The two inside covers contain charts with the stats for all ranged weapons in the game—well, except the new ones included in this book, which are oddly absent. They get a separate chart in their section.
This is rather annoying as it defeats the purpose of having the charts there in the first place. It's nice to have charts that compile everything together, but if they don't actually have everything, you still have to flip pages around.
