'''Combat:''' Snipers fight in combat by starting the battle with a well-aimed shot, hitting commanders to sow confusion, wizards and other enemy squishies before they can buff, etc., and any other high-impact shot.  Alternatively, if the sniper is confident in her ability to stay hidden, her tendency towards quality over quantity gives her targets less chances to spot her.  Snipers are, of course, ideal for shooting a single unsuspecting target: assassination.

In general combat, however, levels in sniper provide little advantage over shooting as often as possible, and such combats rely on the sniper's base class abilities.

'''Advancement:''' The sniper class exists to specialize in a particular tactic - sniping.  Some characters may want pursue sniping in full, but others may only want to dabble in the art of precision.  Low entry requirements are friendly to dabblers, but the sniper is no more powerful than a base class - simply more specialized.

'''Resources:''' Sniping is a skill and a style, not an identity.  Very few sniper organizations exist - instead most snipers are part of military marksmanship academies, orders of assassins, etc.
