Accurate weapons, Scopes, & Far Shot.

żDoes the bonus from the special property from an accurate weapon, stack with Far shot, or a scope?

  • Dark or Light? Why choose when neither is right?

They do work together to reduce the penalty.
An Accurate Weapon does not have penalty when used at Short Range.
Far Shot lets you treat a short+ ranged attack as if it were a category closer.
When you use Aim a Targeting Scope will reduce the range one category.

If you have Far Shot at Aim and Accurate Weapon using a Targeting Scope your range penalties would be 0/0/0/0.
Accurate and Targeting Scope OR Accurate w/ Far Shot:  0/0/0/-5
Far Shot and Targeting Scope:  0/0/0/-2
Accurate Only:  0/0/-5/-10
Far Shot OR Targeting Scope:  0/0/-2/-5

I´d like to add Point Blank shot and Ragnefinder to this question.

Accurate weapon is written as "having no penalty at short range", while Targeting scope and Far Shot are written as "Reduce the range category by one".

1) Does that mean that they can be used in conjunction with PB shot? (the scope and far shot, I mean - accurate weapon only eliminates the penalty, it doesn´t change the range category so it´s out of question)
So PB shot + Scope OR Far Shot = "penalties" +1/+1/-2/-5
and all three of them = +1/+1/+1/-2

2) Rangefinder is written as "the weapon with rangefinder takes no penalty on short range, and it doesn´t stack with Scope". I´d say that it only stacks with Far shot, then.
It eliminates the penalty in the same way as Accurate weapon, and you can´t eliminate the penalty twice.
It doesn´t change the range category, so it can´t benefit the PB shot.
And it is written right in its dfescription that it doesn´t stack with Targeting scope

There is a sidebar on GaW, page 31, that addresses part of the confusion with rangefinders, scopes, and feats.  Basically, the distance to your target hasn't changed, so even though the target is treated as being closer and you can negate some penalties, the actual distance does still matters for certain feats.
