The effective "Mundane Archer" of them is the Hexblade. The others still rely on magic for ranged combat. On that note... Arch Fey Pact of the Blade warlock... is what your designing? Nature based full caster who can shoot at range with a "bow", call it a "Corruption hunter" who joined the druid order and was blessed by the ArchFey of the forest to hunt down these corrupt elements and fallen druids. Based on what you said if fits perfectly.So to be clear they couldn't and didn't successful make wizards and Bards into archers. Before you say well there is still Warlocks... have you made a Hex blade warlock archer? I have. It relies heavily on invocations and sub-subclass flexibility that Druid's do not have. You can be an ArchFey Pact of the Blade or a Hexblade pact of the Blade but Druids have no equivalent and can't choose minor sublcass feature (invocations) to match their design. On top of that, I ended up taking the mobility feat to stay at range, crossbow expert feat so I could shoot up close and shoot twice (heavy crossbow), and its still not as powerful as my pact of the tome warlock casting eldritch blast... not even close. So you can do this, sure. I am in no way tell you "you can't" or "don't" ...I am just warning you that all the other full casters that went melee with any success, still uses spells for range. If your going melee with a druid, pick Circle of the Moon and your done. Going non-magical ranged weapon with a full caster that has range already has not be successfully implemented by any other full casters to the level that your aiming for.Square Peg, Round whole, ...you will need a big hammer to make it work. I don't doubt you can get it in their though.</blockquote>
