Reach Out and Touch Somebody

For all the mystic fury that mages of the myriad worlds can call down upon their foes, few can claim to match the raw efficiency that a hail of arrows, bolts, and bullets bring to a fraught situation. Mastery of ranged weapons is rightfully hailed as an art in many places, and Marksman have devoted significant time and practice to attaining their skill. Whether this was the result of professional tutelage, years of practical experience, or a talent forged in the fraught fires of combat necessity, depends entirely on the individual. 
​Arch-mage? Yeah, he had some nasty tricks. Flicked his wrist and shredded a whole block of cavalry charging at him. Had some weird doodad that kept the battlemages from lighting him up, too. Didn't do squat to stop a lead ball from caving his head in from a hundred yards out, though. 
--Cedric Nask, Royal Sharpshooter, battle of  Hader's Holler
At level 1, gain the following features:

Marksman Training. Gain one Ranged Weapon Training perk of your choice.

Marksmanship. Choose one:
  • Sharpshooter. When you make a Longshot with a Ranged Weapon, you reduce the attack die by one size instead of two (1d12>1d10>1d8>1d6>1d4>1d2>1). 
  • Calculated Shooter. For you, the base Range of all Ranged and Thrown weapons is increased by +30ft.
  • Quickdraw.  During the first Round of initiative, you may use your Reaction to make a single Ranged Weapon Attack or Ranged Spell Attack at any time, including the start of initiative. 
  • Close Quarters. All Ranged Weapons are considered to have the Point-Blank property while you use them (they suffer no penalty against targets within 5ft.)
  • Critical Effect: Pin Down. When you score a Critical Hit with a Ranged Weapon Attack or Ranged Spell Attack, the target's Speed is reduced by -10ft until the start of your next turn. 
  • Critical Effect: Bullseye. When you score a Critical Hit with a Ranged Weapon Attack  or Ranged Spell Attack, you may add your Character Level to the damage dealt. 
  • Critical Effect: Deadshot. When you score a Critical Hit with a Ranged Weapon Attack or Ranged Spell Attack, your Critical Range for subsequent Ranged Weapon/Spell Attacks increases by 1 for 1 Round. This effect can stack multiple times (increasing the Crit Range and adding +1 Round each time it triggers). This ability cannot be used outside of initiative.
