[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 5904028, member: 6674868"] Ah, ok. Are you sold on the Fighter as the base class for the archer? If not, I've got more suggestions. So assuming you are dedicated to the Fighter build and don't want to detract too much from your Archer usefulness, some ideas: 1) I made a Fighter for a 1 shot game that had taken a feat to grant Perform as a class skill. Than, keeping max ranks in Perform (String Instrument), used the Anstruth Harp magical instrument line to cast spells as swift actions: -Fochlucan Bandore 1350gp- [I]Flare, Light, Mending, Message [/I]each 1/day -Mac-Fuirmidh Cithern 2100gp- [I]Cure Light Wounds, Mage Armor, Sleep[/I] each 1/day -Doss Lute 4100gp- [I]Delay Poison, Hold Person, Mirror Image[/I] each 1/day -Canaith Mandolin 8100gp- [I]Cure Serious Wounds, Dispel Magic, Summon Monster III[/I] each 1/day -Cli Lyre 18100gp- [I]Break Enchantment, Dimension Door, Shout[/I] Each 1/day -Anstruth Harp 32100gp- [I]Control Water, Mass Cure Light Wounds, Mind Fog[/I] each 1/day -Ollamh Harp 50100gp- [I]Control Weather, Eyebite, Repulsion[/I] each 1/day This is the simplest method I know to add some casting diversity to a pure Fighter at the cost of a feat, skill points and gold. 2) Get an [URL="http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Homunculus#Arbalester"]Arbalester[/URL] Homunculus (Magic of Eberron p.152).
