[QUOTE="Archibald Theocliste, post: 217295, member: 3808"] Very good job Noldor Elf, I agree with Crothian and Corndemon that a divine archer class is not out of context. But speaking of balance one thing bothers me. The Arcane Archer uses a fighter BAB as an improvement over the wizard BAB, since it seems that a lot of players will be clerics before entering the class, or even rangers, won't it be reasonable to use a fighter BAB too? Due to the low spellcasting improvement of your prestige class I do not see it as unbalanced at all. In fact, one of the main powers of the PrC seems to be the One with the Bow ability, and since it is a lv2 ability, and you are using a cleric BAB, I see no reason for a player not to get 2 lv in this PrC then come back to cleric. He won't really loose in the BAB range and will have better spellcasting abilities (Greater Magic Weapon will compensate the Blessed Arrow ability). I am not here to rant, I love the idea of such a PrC running in my campaign (all credits due of course :) ) and you did a very good job, but I know a lot of players who will think : " Let's see, 11th-level cleric + 2th Level Divine Archer = Harm Arrows " Maybe you could push players to stay in this PrC by increasing its BAB (Rangers will bless you :D ) and/or making the One with the Bow ability availabe at a later level?
