Which PrC for archers is best?

[ivrob]

Of all the PrC for archers: Arcane Archer, Deepwood sniper, Order of the Bow Initiate and Peerless Archer (i don't know if i'm missing any other) which is the best to attain and why?

The peerless archer is the most broken. Beyond that, your question is as meaningful as asking whether pasta is better than sex.


Hmm.


Hong "so, IS pasta better than sex?" Ooi

 

[green slime]

The one you have most fun playing...

Pasta AND sex... A combination that can't be beat! Its BROKEN I tell ya!

 

[JoeGKushner]

The Legendary Archer from Three Arrows for the King is a pretty good play. Lots of other options in there too.

 

[krunchyfrogg]

A lot depends on the game you're in. For instance, in a low-magic world, the Arcane Archer's abilities rock.

If you have a high wisdom, the OotBI is great!

It's really up to you. The most broken archer builds I've seen revolve around taking a few levels of different Archer PrC's (for fighters), or, if you're in FRCS, going with an Elven Cleric Archer.


As for the pasta thing, nothing is better than cooking pasta with your lover, dining together, than having the sex. Or sex first, eat, then more sex.

Just make sure both are al denté!

Probably the best single one is Peerless Archer. Ranged power attack is just wrong.

But since most the prerequisite feats are the same, so it's easy to combine most of them.

 

[Gumby]

A little bit of all of them, or a Cleric archer.

 

[Dark Jezter]

Peerless Archer is way overpowered. I'm running an FR campaign and am allowing my players access to the spells, feats, and prestige classes from the suppliments, but I definately won't be allowing the Peerless Archer (or the Incantatrix) if the subject comes up.

 

[Triumph]

The peerless archer is the most broken.

I liked the Bone Archer (from Three Arrows for the King, though perhaps it appeared somewhere earlier) for flavor, an interesting idea. I would like to use it some time.
