There seems to be no rules regarding the range at which you can make a feint attempt. Indeed, the only reference to melee is in the feint rules specifically under Combat (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat/#TOC-Feint), and not under any of the feats (Greater Feint (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/greater-feint-combat-final/) says normally, they lose the dex against an attack, not specifically melee), nor Bluff (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/bluff/).
So...which interpretation is correct? That it's just for your next attack, or next melee attack. The former has more examples. The latter is specific rules on combat. Is there an actual FAQ on this?
And for Greater Feint, if the latter interpretation is taken, how does this affect others who don't use melee weapons? I mean, the feat, again, makes no specifications for not losing the bonus when attacked against range, so it should just be a simple case of them losing their dex, period. Right?
