[QUOTE="hong, post: 3567513, member: 537"] Notes: The ranged weaponskill thing is to allow different skill levels with melee and ranged weapons. IIRC Ambient's Three Arrows for the King had the idea first, way back in 2003, and the IH archer does a similar thing. The class ends up with +15 attack with melee, and +25 attack with ranged (but still only 3 iterative attacks, not 4). There are some problems with this mechanic, eg lower BAB means slower qualification for things like feats and PrCs, which I try to address. The lower number of iterative attacks is more than canceled out by the big attack bonus. The idea is that you may shoot fewer arrows, but they will hit. The agile barrage is because a player of mine with a [url=http://www.zipworld.com.au/~hong/dnd/bo9s_classvar.htm]huntmaster[/url] moved and attacked, meaning he couldn't use a strike (normally a FRA, remember), so I said I'd make a class that could move and strike so I could laugh.
