Detect and Ranged Attacks

Interesting! Thank you for the clarification! So then if you have precise on your Detect, you can add Targeting to use it to get a +3 on attacks. Is that the only combat benefit of Detect?

If you have precise but not targeting, a player might argue they know where the opponent is, even if they can’t “lock on.” Detect is not subject to darkness or cover, so you know right where they are regardless of those obstacles. How would that affect your ranged attack roll?

Thanks.
