[QUOTE="dragonis111, post: 6345865, member: 79889"] Several people including me already pointed out how the Myrmidarch in that regard only gets his Ranged Spellstrike which comes at 4th level and can only effect single targets with that until 11th level, also Ranged Spellstrike limits some of the spells that can be used with it to only rays, missiles, and similar spells. Also the Myrmidarch is not solely focused on combining his magic with a ranged attacks as he still focuses on melee as well. The Arcane Archer prestige class and my subtype focus heavily on magic with ranged attacks and get the more useful abilities such as enhance arrows, imbue arrow, seeker arrow, phase arrow, and arrow of death. Lastly the Myrmidarch has his spellcasting more limited by his Diminished Spellcasting ability. So essentially the Arcane Archer prestige class and especially my new archetype are much more proficient at combining spellcasting with ranged weapon attacks. Lastly I'm heavily basing my new Arcane Archer off of the Spellslinger Wizard archetype(before you complain no my archetype won't allow spells to deal crit damage like the Spellslinger). Really my last hurdle right now is I have a few abilities from the Arcane Archer prestige class not placed yet as I can't decide what is the best level to put them at and what to trade for them to still keep my new archetype balanced yet still as powerful as the other classes. I am also still trying to think of a useful/neat favored class bonus to offer. [/QUOTE]
