Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I don't think anyone is arguing that the ranged weapon code in HEAD isn't good enough for non-ranger classes.

My position is that it's already too good for all classes, including the ranger. So I'm not planning on making it *more* effective for anyone.

EDIT: That said, if we want to tone rangers down relative to everyone else, substituting might for one (or both) or the extra shots would work. It's a good idea.
