[QUOTE="Anselm, post: 8467323, member: 6978363"] Agreed- that was mostly tongue in cheek as the trade off is notable but the + to hit is not extremely significant. Given you need to take archery fighting style to get the feats as well, you'd have +9 to hit at 12 and +10 to hit at 13. Certainly enough to be effective. I missed Eldritch Knight as an option. That would require mixing O5E and A5E so some DM fiat on whether its allowed but certainly reduces the level requirement (unless there's an A5E subclass I am not thinking of that grants fighters spells). Though I think faster progression is the only thing you really get from the subclass whereas Sharpshooter would increase your overall effectiveness as an archer. At fighter 8/wizard 4 you'd have 10, no? 8 from proficiency and 2 from extra reserves? That goes to twelve at char lvl 13 when proficiency goes to 5. Did I skip an extra one somewhere? I think the biggest limiter on the build in fact is that the only cone spell I can find before cone of cold is burning hands. That's only a 15 foot cone. You have to be really close to things putting you in significant danger and requiring some maneuvering so you don't have disadvantage on all those attacks to be outside melee of your enemies (unless you take sharpshooter subclass, removing that disadvantage).
