First, a warning to my players: scram!
So, I could use advice on the best feats for a first-level fighter, using the targetteer variant from Dragon 310. This is for my seafaring campaign, and I'd like to build a squad of crossbowmen for a privateer.
They'll be human with one flaw, so they'll have four feats to work with--or three feats and the targetteer's Vital Aim. (This gives Dex-to-damage without the range limitations of Dead Eye.)
They'll be using light crossbows...I think, since I'm not entirely sure how Rapid Shot and Rapid Reload would interact on a crossbow. The crossbowmen won't be using any TWF shenanigans, and they won't be dropping one crossbow to fire another, etc.
And they wouldn't need Point Blank Shot on its own, since they'll be mainly firing at targets on another ship...except it's a prerequisite for Plunging Shot and Far Shot, both of which might be useful in a battle at sea.
The more I stare at it, the more confused I get, mainly because I don't know if I'd need both Rapid Shot and Rapid Reload on a light crossbow. Help?
