[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3451830, member: 13966"] Nonlethal Force is right. I'll give you a brief description of the Order of the Bow Initiate's general requirements and abilities, and same for the Ghost-Faced Killer, but that's it. I also don't know if the G-FK was altered at all when reprinted in 3.5 (I assume it was reprinted in Complete Adventurer or something?). It originally appeared in Dragon Magazine. The OotBI originated in Sword & Fist but is, I do believe, reprinted with little or no changes in Complete Warrior. The Ghost-Faced Killer basically requires ranks in a few sneaky skills and a bit in some skills used for magic and freaking people out. It otherwise requires the character to be a pretty decent warrior and ninja-like or assassin-like guy, and ya have to evil; it's really an oriental, mystical assassin as the name implies. The prerequisites include four feats and four skills. It's got pretty decent combat ability, and various class features (mundane ones and mystical ones) that help it assassinte an opponent quickly. Other than that it focuses on sneaking about like a ghost, and can freak people out sometimes. A really cool prestige class, but more of a roguish one than a fighter PrC. The Order of the Bow Initiate requires several archery-related feats and specialization in any bow, and little else. It focuses on sneak attacks with a bow and developing other techniques from mastery over the art of archery. The OotBI is a fairly good warrior, but all its class features center on mastering the bow. Not a mystical class in its abilities, but the flavor of the class is meant to convey a philosophical archer, like the eastern monks of Asia who practice zen archery. [/QUOTE]
