Long range shooting rule, I cant find it or did i imagine it?

By Atraangelis, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

IS there a rule about shooting beyond a weapons maximum range by 1 range band that increases difficulty??

I thought there was a rule that allowed for example a heavy blaster to shoot at long range but the difficulty increased by 1 or some thing... Does this rule exist? or was i hallucinating?

No, but there is a ranked Talent that allows it...I'm AFB, but I think it's Sharpshooter

Sniper Shot is the one you are thinking of.

The above are correct. It's is a ranked talent called Sniper Shot. Three easiest ways to get it is through the Commando Sniper tree, the Assassin tree or through the armor attachment Range Finder. Just remember it takes a maneuver to use it. Which could cost 2 strain if one wants to use the aim maneuver as well.
