Prerequisites: Natural Born Archer, Int 15+Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls made with a bow with which you are proficient. In addition you are able to add your intelligence bonus to your initiative. My Comments: This feat makes little sense as the two halves of the feat are not incongruous with each other and with the idea of feats in general. Their needs to be a balance of the initiative gains (I.E. it should say::: In addition you are able to choose between your Intelligence and Dexterity bonus which ever is greater for purposes of determining your Initiative)My Suggested Reworking of this featPracticed Archer [General, Fighter]Having already an innate talent with the bow you have dedicated many years to perfecting the art of archery. Prerequisites: Paragon of the Bow, Int 15+Benefit: When you use a bow with which you are proficient you gain an additional +1 bonus to your damage rolls. Special: This feat may be taken as one of the fighter’s bonus feats provided that he meets the requirements. As can be seen I removed the offending initiative bonus, and reworked the remainder into something that makes sense (including the new requirements) as there was no quantification of what a natural born archer was, sense he did not propose a feat by that name nor did he give a good idea of what was meant by that.The Feat from the Prerequisite:PARAGON OF THE BOW [General, Fighter]You have an innate natural talent with the use of the bow that manifested itself early in your life. Prerequisite: Must be taken at 1st level, Dex 15+ Benefits: You gain a +1 bonus to your attack, and damage rolls when using a longbow, shortbow, or a composite longbow, or composite shortbow. In addition you gain a +2 insight bonus to appraise checks, and concentration checks made to aim your shots at specific targets such as a head or weapon. Special: This feat may be taken after first level provided that the character has the Weapon focus feat for his particular type of bow.</blockquote>
