Blind Fight at Range
« on: July 07, 2013, 11:41:17 pm »


               Does a character get all of the benefits of Blind Fight when using a ranged weapon?  For example, does an archer at range get to re-roll the concealment check on a concealed target?

               It has been quite helpful for my archers, and is my fave Feat in the game; try and take it for all characters, and by 3rd lvl if possible.

It depends on how you play your archer.

I tend to play purely artillery types using meat shields and traps to prevent getting mobbed so, though I do benefit from the re-roll in those cases, since my PC remains well out of melee range at all times, BF's AC and attack issues never factor in.

However, for those who employ extensive use of PBS, then ~yes~... the full Monty of BF effects applies.

Zen archers get a slightly less BF advantage since flat-footedness is not near as significant as is with a dexer archer.

               Just in concept (compensating for sight with other senses, spacial awareness) I was expecting to find a limitation that it only worked for melee.  The Wiki mentioned no limitation, but I thought I would double-check.

My main concern was the re-roll for conceal more than anything else.  I recently played through Citadel, in which foes made frequent use of conceal.  Conceal is highly annoying.
