Archery Feats

[Doom3524]

Duh! Good Call.

If you have Improved Precise Shot, Sharp Shooting is useless, as SS halves cover bonuses, IPS negates.
I think that Imp Rapid Shot has Manyshot as a prereq.

IIRC, anyways.

Manyshot, Greater Manyshot are good, especially if you multi into scout.

Shot on the Run may or may not be useful.

You may want to check out the Crystal Keep Feat Index for the archery feats, there's some very good feat options there. Though, whether or not it'll be allowed is, well, questionable.

Order of the Bow Initiate. Unleash the awesomeness[some may read it as cheapness]!
With Greater Manyshot (though, Ranged Precision might not work with it).
And start shooting everything that moves. And after the second level, you can do so when threatened without a care in the world.
From Complete Warrior, page 68. You'll need 5 ranks in Craft (bowmaking) and 2 in Know (religion), though.

Your DM does not sound like fun.

What kind of bow? Long or Short?

Yeah, he isn't the best DM, but its his first campaign so I am giving him a little leway. I am using a longbow, and I was planning on going Deepwood Sniper for the extra range and the improved crit modifiers and the keen arrows. I was thinking the way this campaign is going I may have to go Order to be better.

PHB2 really made fighters beyond levels 8-10 viable. Penetrating Shot, for example, is similar to Cleave. Should you slay your target the arrow continues through and potentially hits a creature next in line behind them. I think the creature gets a save or a bonus to their AC, however. It's been a week or two since I last read the feat.

So, I think I came up with my feat list......

Fighter/Human

1st) Point Blank Shot, Far Shot, Rapid Shot
2nd) Weapon Focus
3rd) Precise Shot
4th) Weapon Specialization
6th) Manyshot, Improved Rapid Shot
(Enter Prestige Class, Deepwood Sniper)
9th) Ranged Weapon Mastery

Then I will go from there. What do you think??

Does anyone have a good list of archery feats? I need some that do extra damage if possible, I am only level 4 right now, I already have Far Shot, Many Shot and Precise Shot, but none add to damage. Any help on this would be great.

Point Blank Shot adds to damage (a little) and is a prerequisite for some of the feats you list.

He is so bad that he will not allow that. He told a ranger they could not take Delay Poison because he uses poisons alot. I am not liking where this game is going, and I will probably drop out within a month.

I was going to say, it sounds like you should stop looking for feats and start looking for a new DM.

If you want to go DWS, a couple of levels of ranger would be a good idea, it makes it a lot easier to meet the skill requirements and at least 2 levels will get you Rapid Shot, which you'll need anyway.
