Patience is a skill not possessed by all warriors, be they melee combatants or ranged attackers. Rewards come to those who wait, however - a sniper is a ranged attacker who has chosen the path of patience. Quality over quantity. Precision over power.
===Becoming a Sniper===
Characters who choose the path of the sniper are not concerned with pumping out damage over time from a range (Sharpshooting is the name of that other art), but rather prefer to enjoy an increased accuracy for the few shots they do take, as well as making those shots count. Snipers are a martial class, drawing from the ranks of fighters, rangers, rogues, and other classes of similar persuasions. Due to Snipers being a ranged class, and a class that prefers to stay out of melee (or even return fire), ability in archery is of primary importance. The skills necessary to sneak around is also very helpful.

====Class Features====
All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.
'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting}}:''' At <-each level? each level after first? Xth and Yth levels?->, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one <-divine? arcane? prepared? spontaneous?-> spellcasting class before becoming a <-class name->, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.
'''{{Anchor|Manifesting}}:''' At <-each level? each level after first? Xth and Yth levels?->, you gain power points per day, an increase in manifester level, and new powers as if you had also gained a level in a manifesting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one manifesting class before becoming a <-class name->, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining powers, manifester level, and powers known.
'''{{Anchor|Spells}}:''' To cast a particular spell, you must have an <-relevant ability-> score of at least 10 + the spell's level. Your bonus spells are based on your <- ability ->. Saves to avoid the effects of your spells have a DC of 10 + the spell's level + your <-abbreviated ability-> bonus (if any).
You cast spells as a <-similar spellcasting class-> does. [[#Table: <-class name-> Spells Known|Table: <-class name-> Spells Known]], below, details how many spells you can learn at each level. An epic <-class name->’s number of [[SRD:Spells|spells]] per day does not increase after 10th level. Choose your spells from the following list:
0—''<-this spell->'', ''<-that spell->'', ''<-and the other spell->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
1st—''<-this spell->'', ''<-that spell->'', ''<-and the other spell->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.

'''{{Anchor|Power Points/Day}}:''' Your ability to manifest [[SRD:Powers|powers]] is limited by the [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] you have available. Your base daily allotment of [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] is given on [[#Table: The <-class name->|Table: The <-class name->]]. In addition, you receive bonus [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] per day if you have a high <-relevant ability-> score (see [[SRD:Ability Scores#Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points|Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points]]). Your race may also provide bonus [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] per day, as may certain feats and items. Your power points and bonus power points at each level do not increase automatically after 10th level.
'''{{Anchor|Powers Known}}:''' You begin play knowing X <-class name-> powers of your choice. Each time you achieve a new level, you unlock the power of a new power. You can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than your manifester level.
The total number of powers you can manifest in a day is limited only by your daily power points.
You simply know your powers; they are ingrained in your mind. You do not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though you must get a good night's sleep each day to regain all your spent power points.
The Difficulty Class for saving thows against <-class name-> powers is 10 + the power's level + your <-abreviated relevant ability-> modifier.
Your powers known at each level do not increase automatically after 10th level.
You choose your powers from the following list (Exception: The [[SRD:Expanded Knowledge|Expanded Knowledge]] and [[SRD:Epic Expanded Knowledge|Epic Expanded Knowledge]] feats allow you to learn powers from the lists of other classes.):
1st—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
2nd—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
3rd—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
4th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
5th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
6th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
7th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
8th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
9th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
'''{{Anchor|Maximum Power Level Known}}:''' This column determines the highest level power you can learn at this level.
To learn or manifest a power, you must have an <-relevant ability-> score of at least 10 + the power’s level.
'''{{Anchor|<-extraordinary class feature->}} ([[Ex]]):''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->
'''''{{Anchor|<-psi-like class feature->}}'' ([[Ps]]):''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->
'''''{{Anchor|<-spell-like class feature->}}'' ([[Sp]]):''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->

====Class Features====
All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.
'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting}}:''' At <-each level? each level after first? Xth and Yth levels?->, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one <-divine? arcane? prepared? spontaneous?-> spellcasting class before becoming a <-class name->, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.
'''{{Anchor|Manifesting}}:''' At <-each level? each level after first? Xth and Yth levels?->, you gain power points per day, an increase in manifester level, and new powers as if you had also gained a level in a manifesting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one manifesting class before becoming a <-class name->, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining powers, manifester level, and powers known.
'''{{Anchor|Spells}}:''' To cast a particular spell, you must have an <-relevant ability-> score of at least 10 + the spell's level. Your bonus spells are based on your <- ability ->. Saves to avoid the effects of your spells have a DC of 10 + the spell's level + your <-abbreviated ability-> bonus (if any).
You cast spells as a <-similar spellcasting class-> does. [[#Table: <-class name-> Spells Known|Table: <-class name-> Spells Known]], below, details how many spells you can learn at each level. An epic <-class name->’s number of [[SRD:Spells|spells]] per day does not increase after 10th level. Choose your spells from the following list:
0—''<-this spell->'', ''<-that spell->'', ''<-and the other spell->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
1st—''<-this spell->'', ''<-that spell->'', ''<-and the other spell->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.

'''{{Anchor|Power Points/Day}}:''' Your ability to manifest [[SRD:Powers|powers]] is limited by the [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] you have available. Your base daily allotment of [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] is given on [[#Table: The <-class name->|Table: The <-class name->]]. In addition, you receive bonus [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] per day if you have a high <-relevant ability-> score (see [[SRD:Ability Scores#Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points|Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points]]). Your race may also provide bonus [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] per day, as may certain feats and items. Your power points and bonus power points at each level do not increase automatically after 10th level.
'''{{Anchor|Powers Known}}:''' You begin play knowing X <-class name-> powers of your choice. Each time you achieve a new level, you unlock the power of a new power. You can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than your manifester level.
The total number of powers you can manifest in a day is limited only by your daily power points.
You simply know your powers; they are ingrained in your mind. You do not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though you must get a good night's sleep each day to regain all your spent power points.
The Difficulty Class for saving thows against <-class name-> powers is 10 + the power's level + your <-abreviated relevant ability-> modifier.
Your powers known at each level do not increase automatically after 10th level.
You choose your powers from the following list (Exception: The [[SRD:Expanded Knowledge|Expanded Knowledge]] and [[SRD:Epic Expanded Knowledge|Epic Expanded Knowledge]] feats allow you to learn powers from the lists of other classes.):
1st—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
2nd—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
3rd—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
4th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
5th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
6th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
7th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
8th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
9th—''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''<!-- repeat as necessary -->.
'''{{Anchor|Maximum Power Level Known}}:''' This column determines the highest level power you can learn at this level.
To learn or manifest a power, you must have an <-relevant ability-> score of at least 10 + the power’s level.
'''{{Anchor|<-extraordinary class feature->}} ([[Ex]]):''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->
'''''{{Anchor|<-psi-like class feature->}}'' ([[Ps]]):''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->
