Divine Archer PrC (modified Arcane Archer)

[Marshall]

Well, an arrow has a slightly larger range then the reach spell.

And if you're any farther away than "reach" youve just wasted the spell. He runs away to heal or has plenty of time to just heal himself up.

I hit him the Harm arrow and I hit him with another arrow that round.

Or I shot him next round. Few creatures have the heal spell. If he runs, I can still shoot him many, many times.

Hell, your DM could rule that he takes the Harm damage bfore the arrow damege, in which case this is a much better Death Arrow . I dont see a problem with it as ranged attacks are so easy to negate and Death Arrow sucks monkey balls anyway. (thats monkey BASKETballs gran'ma)

Nope, standard action to imbue. One shot.

Unless youre in the middle of an open space 2000'+ in diameter, with no cover available, you wont get a second round.

Very good point. Because the standard movement rate for pretty much every single monster that has ever been published is 2000' per round. In the almost inconceivable event they can't move that fast, literally every monster or character you'll ever encounter will have teleport contingencies or heal spells on hand.

Harm sucks.

A party that didn't give this guy Haste at these levels deserves what it gets.

Right one round imbue arrow, wait till next round and fire imbued arrow as part of a full round action.

You can shoot things that have cover. Even things with full cover (phase arrow, seeker arrow). Anything less then full cover and there's a chance to hit them with a reguliar shot.

Out of curiousity, why not just take Arcane Archer, and substitue in Divine everywhere it says Arcane?

Not as much fun, granted, but...
