Teamwork Benefit: Indirect Fire

The team has a forward observer called a spotter, who locates enemies and reveals their positions.

Training

The teammates practice aiming at unseen targets using directions from allies. Eventually, each learns to fire accurately at targets that have cover based on the body language and gestures of the spotter.

Task Leader Prerequisites

Precise Shot and base attack bonus +6.

Team Member Prerequisites

Spot 3 ranks.

Benefit

This benefit denies opponents some of the protection normally granted by cover or concealment. If the spotter has an unobstructed line of sight to the covered or concealed target, she can, as a move action, use hand gestures, spoken directions, and body language to alert allies wielding ranged weapons to the target's position. If the target has cover, it gains only half the normal cover bonus to Armor Class against the team's ranged attacks. If the target has concealment, the attacker rolls the miss chance twice to determine whether his attack hits. A spotter who can see invisible targets can use this ability to allow a reroll on the miss chance to strike an invisible creature.
