Archer Prestige Class

[Happiest_Sadist]

Aim is not a good ability. Someone with this class can essentially out-assassin the assassin, especially if they have a flaming-burst weapon. There is a very low chance that a high-lvl archer won't confirm a critical. This could be used to do a gaunteed several hundred points of damage with the right equipment.


If you really want an aim ability give them +xd6 damage. This would work a lot better. You could even let them take the feats from S&S that convert sneak attack into other effects.


Also consider the possibilities of Field of Fire combined with combat reflexes. I don't want to see that considering how high of dex a ranged weapon specialist could have.

Been working on the class, and realized some things. First, I had thought that the flaming and burst damage from a flaming weapon were not mutiplied with a crit. If so, that would make the aim ability too powerful. Also Field of fire dosen't work like I wanted it too. I am thinking about allowing attacks of Oppurtunity for non-movment oppurtunities. Having a threat range of 20, dosen't seem right. Perhaps wording it so that it says, when a person provokes an AoO from another while in 20 feet of the archer, the archer may make an attack on him.
