If we aim for maximal combat effectiveness, we'd go for clvl 1 = wizard, clvl 2-7, 18-20 = fighter. You'd have the spellcasting ability of a 6th lvl arcane caster (but with no chance of spell failure), and with your bow, you'd have a net attack of +22 (8 from ftr levels, 7 from AA levels, 5 from mehta, 1 from wpn focus, and 1 from improved wpn focus (taken at 20th lvl)).  With 3 attacks per round + feats.  If we go for maximal arcane capability, we'd do clvl 1,2 = ftr, clvl 3-10 = wiz, and clvl 11-20 as AA.  Spellcasting ability at clvl 20 would be the same as a 14th lvl caster, but your net attack would be only +19 (2 from ftr levels, 4 from wizard level, 7 from AA levels, 5 from mehta, and 1 from weapon focus), and you wouldn't be able to choose the PrC until 11th level. Also with 3 attacks per round + feats.If we compare it to a 20th level fighter, and if we assume a +5 bow, he'd obviously have no arcane capability or any of the AA abilities, but he'd have an attack of 27 (20 from ftr levels, 1 from wpn focus, 1 from improved wpn focus, 5 from magical bow), and 4 attacks per round + feats, as well as +4 damage from wpn spec and improved weapon spec.I'd say it looks pretty balanced to me.</blockquote>
