[QUOTE="dragonis111, post: 6345332, member: 79889"] Well so many people talk about how the Arcane Archer does gain some cool abilities but that the requirements for the prestige class make it almost pointless as you lose so much casting ability/levels. Also you are required to multi-class in order to easily achieve the prestige class requirements while Pathfinder is set up to reward staying in a single class. I agree with those statements so my solution to fixing the Arcane Archer is to turn the prestige class into a class archetype of wizard like Paizo did with the [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/wizard/archetypes/paizo---wizard-archetypes/spellslinger"]spellslinger[/URL]. So as I am building this I wanted some of your thoughts about whether or not this is a good idea and what this new class archetype should or shouldn't have? I'll have my initial version up in a day or so with any ideas given by you all that I deem proper worked in as well. Obviously I'll end up making several changes after the initial version is posted until I feel the class is as powerful/useful as the other classes while still be balanced and not overpowered.
