At least until you get bumrushed by minions that you can't attack with your ranged attack without provoking AOO and can't even hit with a 1d4 dagger because your STR is abysmal. |

I poked around until I made a gunslinger build I was satisfied with. Fighting point blank is easy once you figure that, at that range, you're more or less making touch attacks. |

That's why the 1d4-1 damage my alchemist wields is coated with either Pit Fiend venom (I got a lucky deal in a dam), or even more potent poison recipes brewed by himself. |

Another example of system shock for me, I guess. Since I only played a little D&D 3e but more of other systems (mostly GURPS), I'm used to rolling to hit against Dexterity (or the equivalent) since it's hand/eye coordination. |

All I can say to this: Halfling Paladin, Ranged Weapon Spec, with a celestial Warhound as a riding mount. |

Well, it's surprising how much having a bow and arrow in a modern day zombie apocalypse has really made the group love my character. |

I made a bow and arrow character too, though it was for Shadowrun. The arrowheads could be swapped out for different payloads, such as incendiary, flash-bang, stun shock, and even freeze foam. Basically, I made the Green Arrow, minus the wealth, so... the Red Arrow. :p |

I have my bad -2 damage cosplay arrows with which I started AND I have my improvised self made normal damage arrows (didn't get enough time to make enough to fill the quiver) . |

Running out of the range (at which you think) you can be hit by melee and then shooting with a ranged weapon is the whole point of a ranged weapon. Ask anyone who played Resident Evil 4 and 5. |

I remember how useless my Ratfolk Musket Master was for the first few levels. The dungeons were always way too cramped for my shots, and I had to be in the back because of my horrible hit point rolls. So I took Ricochet Shot. Saved my hide and the teams. As long as I had grit still, I only needed line of effect to a target to hit, avoiding all cover penalties. Drove the DM up the wall trying to avoid it. |

Ah, so many nice things you can do with a ranged character. In a PBP Pathfinder game that I unfortunately had to drop out of, I had a plain old human fighter specced for using a light crossbow. |
