 When using Snap Shot to attack an adjacent enemy, instead of firing an arrow you bash the target with the bow. This counts as a normal attack with the bow, using all normal bonuses and penalties. If the attack hits, instead of dealing damage, you may push the target back 5 ft. (this means if a target has 3 valid squares they can be pushed into if they are medium). You may select which square your target is moved to. This movement can never cause the enemy to provoke an AoO, as it is an involuntary movement. However, this forced movement doesn’t spend any of the targets remaining movement, so they may still provoke more attacks as their turn continues, if done as part of a AoO. When using Snap Shot to attack an adjacent enemy, instead of firing an arrow you bash the target with the bow.

 When you successfully use Back Off to push a target backwards, you may also deal damage as if they were struck with an attack from your bow, as you fire a parting shot into the newly departed foe (Or friend).

 By spending 1 TP, you may parry incoming ranged attacks using your bow (and arrows!) as an AoO against the projectile. Each square a projectile moves through within your range provokes an additional AoO (meaning that projectiles provoke on every square you threaten). If you are able to apply the broken condition to the projectile, the attack fails, regardless of the attacker's roll. This does not work on most magic, such as rays, unless the magic is physical, or you have a unique property on your arrows. The GM has final say on whether a spell qualifies as a valid target for this ability, and is fully responsible for determining the HP and hardness of spell projectiles, if applicable. By spending 1 TP, you may parry incoming ranged attacks using your bow (and arrows!) as an AoO against the projectile.
