What are you trying to accomplish with this talent?
The core of the idea is to allow an avenue for a character to get a small bonus for being in point blank range with a ranged weapon. So at it's most basic, the talent would be "you get +1d to Attack rolls vs targets in the same area." Right now, there really isn't anything for that in the game – Point Blank Shot only applies to crossbows (officially) and gives a damage bonus for a wager.
The idea of the melee limitation is simple: it's really hard to get a good shot off when you are being rushed by more than 1 guy – and even that's a stretch.
I feel just making it a circumstantial bonus doesn't jive well with Aim and the Point Blank Shot trick, so that leaves a Talent. But maybe it's too underpowered for that (that's why I was keeping it a Basic Talent). I'm open to other ideas. The players make a convincing argument and are open to minor hurdles.
