I'm thinking that Ghoul Touch and Chill Touch would be popular at low level, and the Combined Casting class ability would synergize well with Vampiric Touch and Touch of Idiocy.That's already the way Combined Casting works... I should clear that up.It's there to compensate for a weakness, not to be a strength. Since the class is intended to be an archer more than a wizard, it might be a totally useless ability. Hmmm... what about a "Power Attack" type thing, that allowed an Arcane Archer to subtract a number of BAB and add that number to Caster Level for the purpose of penetrating SR? Would that be unbalanced?The "Arcane Shot" ability is there for DR -- however, you're probably right about it being too weak. How about a version modeled on Psionic Shot:Arcane Shot I (Su): As a free action, the Arcane Archer may expend a prepared spell and focus its energy into one of her arrows. If the arrow strikes, it deals +1d4 damage per level of the spell used. The spell is expended even if the arrow misses.Arcane Shot II (Su): As Arcane Shot I above, except the arrow receices +1/spell level to the attack roll and +1d6/spell level to the damage roll. -- N</blockquote>
