"Arrow Mind"/CC Enhancement? [Archive] - Wizards Community

03-15-07, 11:54 AM Trying to develop a weapon enhancement for ranged weapons, in order to be fired point-blank without provoking (i.e. whips, thrown weapons, xbows, regular bows, etc etc).

I'm caught between three things that currently make it possible to use a ranged weapon in melee without an AoO:

--The Epic Close Combat Shot Feat
--Various PrCs
--Arrow Mind spell

Considering the various levels of these abilities (ranging from Arrow Mind as a lvl 1 spell, to the 21st level feat above), I'm unsure where to set the "+number" value. Granted, one could just have a magical item that casts Arrow Mind at will, but...

Any suggestions?

In my opinion, it is definitely not worth a +2, considering the ease of taking a 5ft step back.

I'm leaning towards +1 since the Seeking Enhancement is basically an upgraded version of the Improved Precise Shot feat (and comparable in power to some epic feats but that's not saying much about the power of epic feats since they vary in power greatly).
