[QUOTE="Dark Mistress, post: 5206102, member: 11816"] This product is 13 pages long. ½ page for front cover, 1 page for OGL and credits. The product talks about replaceing class abilities with a new set of archer abilities. First it gives a list of each class and what ability sets they have to give up to take one of the archer archtype ability sets. For example the Barbarian has to give up their rage powers. A rogue gives up their sneak attacks etc. The first 6 pages talks about that and how and why archtypes work. It gets into why they did what they did, with enough advice to help you pick non core classes ability sets to give up and add a archer archtype in their place. It is well done, reads well and gives you a firm idea how to apply this technic to other classes. The next section gets into the different archer archtypes your character can take. (this is 4 pages) Archer Alchemist – shooting special alchemist made arrows Sharpshooter – Gives powerful single shot attacks.(that take a full round action to do) Spellbow – imbueing arrows with magic. Tempest – learning to fire a whole lot of arrows at your enemies. Zen Archer – gains some special abilities, such as shooting other ranged attacks out of the air. Next section is new feats and what all the Super Genius classes from other books would have to give up to learn these archtypes. There is 5 new feats. Arrowfighter Deadeye Deadly Accuracy Defensive Shot Snap Shot Closing thoughts. I like the product, it adds options to existing classes. Want a archer based rogue, you can do it. Or a archer based cleric etc. It is nice as it takes away class powers while leaving the core of the class intact to full fill it's typical role. The art work was fair. I hope they decided to do more of these styles books. If I had one complaint it would be that there is only 5 archtypes to pick from and I could think of a few more. So for the price I am giving it a 4.5 star. If you are looking for a way to tweak any base Pathfinder classes or Super Genius class with some archer ability this book is well worth picking up for the price. [/QUOTE]
