Prone Shooter (Combat)

While prone, you use the ground to stabilize your aim while using a crossbow or firearm.

Prerequisite: base attack bonus +1.

Benefit: If you have been prone since the end of your last turn, the penalty to your Armor Class against melee attacks made against you is reduced to -2. In addition, the bonus to your Armor Class against ranged attacks made against you is increased to +6.

Editor's Note

What does the Prone Shooter feat do? The feat says that you do not take a penalty for shooting while prone, but there is no such penalty.

You are of course correct here. As currently written, the feat does not function as intended. To fix this issue, make the following changes.

Remove the Weapon Focus feat prerequisite from the feat. The benefit paragraph of the feat should be changed to read as follows:

Benefit: If you have been prone since the end of your last turn, the penalty to your Armor Class against melee attacks made against you is reduced to -2. In addition, the bonus to your Armor Class against ranged attacks made against you is increased to +6.

Finally, delete the special paragraph from the feat.

Note: The changes described above have been applied.
