The "creature to hit bonus" in the Bioscience line is either worded miscorrectly in the description or Melee's get no benifit from this line with this feature.

The ingame description states that this bonus only effects Normal ranged attacks. Do melee's not receive this bonus than? Is our traps considered a normal range attack?Is there any logical or SWG fantasy reason why Melee's can't use this benifit? I'm sort of not sure whats up and somewhat dissapointed if this is intentional. Figured melee's would be able to know the kill secrets with certain animals just as well as a ranged user.

Can we get some clarification or this added to our list of fixes/ideas for rangers? Thank you.

bump, no other melee Rangers out there concerned?

Actualy, we are here (Fencer/Ranger) and the "creature to hit bonus" issue is on the various Ranger Issue posts. I hear that it also only applys for non-specail Ranged attacks.

This is one thing that is not well documented. Does having a better "To Hit" Bonus help in doing more damage, or just in conecting in the first place?

It is true, melee do not get a bonus to hit.

It is probably true that range does not either.

Half of the description in skills and abilities that are listed now do not exist, so it would not be a stretch to say the ones that do do not work.

The way I mow through creatures with my 2H sword area effect attacks I'm not concerned at this point. If they give it us eventually, cool. For all I know we already get it and the text is simply wrong. I have yet to see any data showing ranged rangers being any better to hit creatures than melee rangers are.

yes i am....actuallly i posted this once i got ranger and was assured by other rangers it was brought up and would be fixed..i meantheir is no marksmen prequiste to this job their should be no Bigotry to marksmen either
