Feats: You won't have Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting in your list, even at first level. They're both listed under "Dual Wield". Note that by choosing the Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon feats, you can use them in ANY armour, not just in light or no armour. To prevent people from taking the same feat twice unwittingly, you don't get Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting as options when leveling up as a ranger (they're not in the ranger's "feats to choose" list, but are in every other class, including the Arcane Archer)

Firing Into Melee: Since we're speculating ... how about that we're very busy trying to get 1.31 ready? We don't have time to respond to all of the threads. Precise Shot was cut from the game before Alpha (it was feat #432), but we forgot to cut its counterbalancing feature ... the Firing Into Melee penalty. The Firing Into Melee penalty was removed today, and look for the fix in 1.31.

In some rare instances, the Firing Into Melee penalty is being applied when the target is not apparently in melee. Furthermore, the Firing Into Melee penalty is not being applied in some cases when the target is in melee! That's the reason we are cutting Firing Into Melee instead of un-cutting Precise Shot.... and that's all I'm going to say on this thread.
