[QUOTE="Slaved, post: 3384515, member: 43358"] It basically looks like the bard with a different set of class abilities. So, comparing the class abilities which do I think is more powerful and I think that the bard wins out. Seeker arrow, phase arrow, and hail of arrows abilities all are once per day abilities. Death arrow is a lot of fun but takes a lot of time and planning. The 4 bonus feats are definately up there in potential power though as is imbue arrow for that matter. 2 less skill points a level and a less powerful skill list hurt some areas a bit. I think the main thing that I would change though, and it is a shift away from the prestige class that it is based off of, is to beef up the arrow enhancement ability a bit. It looks like you based the progression off of when Greater Magic Weapon gets its bonuses but this guy is supposed to be just a little bit better at it. How about Moving the progression forward 2 levels? Start it at level 2 and go up by 1 every 4 levels after that. That way half of the time you are ahead of the spell and the other half you are even with it, assuming that they do not get a caster level boost from somewhere. Then at level 20 have the arrows jump to +6. I know it is out of the progression but I am personally ok with that :) Perhaps you could also make a special feat for them as one of their optional feats which increases their once per day abilities? Perhaps 3 feats, one for each ability, that will allow the character to spend a standard/move action, give up a predefined level of spell slot or higher, and gain another use of the ability for that day?
