Arcane Archer w/ Spellcasting focus - feedback please

Another thing you might want to do is make Crafts arms and Armor feat a prerequite.

    Really? Why? I think the AA is already difficult enough to qualify for...

In adding another prerequite you can have the class be a little more powerful. Sure, it does make the class hardier to get into. But in return you make the class a little more powerful.

Edit: Also, in making the class more mage friendly, you really need to lower that BAB as a prerequite. I'd make it +4

    And what do you suggest giving the class in exchange for making it more difficult to qualify for?

    I'm not really interested in making the class a "real" PrC. I just want to make it fit with the player's desires a bit more. The PC already qualifies for the class with the prereqs as written (other than the DM-imposed "Go recover the Book of Illuminated Arrows", the lost training manual for the AA), so that is not an issue.

Okay, I didn't realize that. So disregard last statement.

One wouldn't want to lower the BAB anyway, since then full wizards (level 10) could take the class, and that would really be unbalanced...

Not if with the feat requirements. You still need weapon focus, point blank shot, and precise shot. Plus I was also suggesting Craft Arms and Armor to go with it. I don't think that would be that bad with the above changes (those posted higher in this thread) to the class.

    Anyone have anything else to add?
