Without them, it would still be balanced with the other classes. If you really want to fight all your time with sword+shield or a 2-handed weapon, the Archery path will still be useful when you attack from range (don't tell me you necessary want a sling or even a crossbow, which is everything except a wilderness weapon), even if that's not happening very often if you prefer to be on the front line.I don't know yet if the combat style feats are usable with double weapons now, but that's possible; also I'd like to know if the archery style feats work only with BOWS or with other stuff.And regarding the armor restriction, I really think it's a good restriction. It makes the 3 free feats slightly less valuable than normal feats, because you either have to choose between having 3 effective free feats OR using medium/heavy armor. I see no problem with that, not even in multiclassing: try asking a multiclass Druid which armor she uses, or a Wizard who has to choose between free spells/day OR access to all schools.</blockquote>
