<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Imbue Arrow (Sp): At 2nd level, an arcane archer gains the ability to place an arcane area spell upon an arrow.

</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Penetrating Arrow (Su): Starting at 3rd level, when using any of herimbue arrow abilities, an arcane archer may add her class level as a bonus to caster level checks when trying to overcome a target's Spell Resistance.&nbsp; This bonus stacks with caster levels gained as an Arcane Archer, as well as with feats like Spell Penetration.

[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1187657, member: 224"] Nifft: I am [b]so[/b] gonna steal your PrC [u]and[/u] your formatting. Both rock!

(As usual, this does not stack with other enhancement bonuses, like those from a magical bow or arrow.) The arcane archer's arrows are only magical if she shoots them. For every two class (arcane archer) levels, the magic arrows she creates gain +1 greater enhancement (+1 at 1st level, +2 at 3rd level, +3 at 5th level, +4 at 7th level, and +5 at 9th level). [*][b]Imbue Arrow[/b] (Sp): At 2nd level, an arcane archer gains the ability to place an arcane area spell upon an arrow. When the arrow is fired, the spell’s area is centered (or origniates) on where the arrow lands, even if the spell could normally be centered only on the caster. This ability allows the archer to use the bow’s range rather than the spell’s range. It takes a standard action to cast the spell and fire the arrow.

[*][b]Arrows of Energy[/b] (Su): At 6th level, an arcane archer choses one special effect her arrows may have. This decision is fixed once made. Then, as a free action, an arcane archer may make any arrow she shoots (as many or as few as she wishes) take on that special effect. The list of special effect choices are: Bane, Distance, Flaming, Frost, Ghost Touch, Keen, Merciful, Seeking, Shock, or Thundering (see DMG magic ranged weapons section) . At 8th level, and again at 10th level, the arcane archer may chose an additional special effect. Only the Bane effect may be taken more than once, and only for a different type of creature. Special effects may be stacked on an arrow, up to the normal limit for magical arrows (an effective +10 total enhancement; this includes the enhancement bonus to damage). [*][b]Combined Casting[/b] (Su): At 7th level, as a full-round action, the Arcane Archer may both cast a spell (with a Casting Time of 1 standard action) and use a standard attack action with the bow.
