Their main ability the + arrows is trumped by GMW, which if you are in a party with 17th level Wiz and Cleric you should have no shortage of. Or as part of your equipment you could buy a Quiver of Endless +5 GMW arrows. So you really shouldn't have to worry about running out of + arrows. Buy a small supply for "just in case" though.Now lets look at their other abilites.Imbue arrow - Basically useless. Any spells that can be imbued are long enough ranged as to be pointless to imbue. Second as you only have 1 lv of wizard you won't have any good spells anyway. Seeker Arrow - Nice but it's only 1/day and though the SRD is somewhat unclear on this, I believe it is the only attack you get that round.Phase Arrow - Ditto for Seeker ArrowHail of Arrows - Now this one is SWEET, but again it's only 1/day and you can pick it up as a feat once you hit epic levels, which isn't that far away.Arrow of Death - Sounds nice, but it's only a DC20 fort save. Most high level monsters can make that in their sleep. So aside from Hail of Arrows, which you can pick up in 4 levels anyway, all of the AA's abilities are of at best limited use.A DWS/Peerless Archer would wipe the floor with an AA the way you've built him.One other thing, unless your DM has modified the Multiclassing rules, you are going to suffer an XP penalty for having Ranger 1 / Fighter 4, setup. Elves have Wizard as favored class not Ranger or Fighter. So, I would go Fighter 6/OoBI 2/DWS 7/PA 2. OoBI gets you the Combat shot ability. DWS I think gets you up to a x5 crit (don't have books) and I think PA 2 gets you Power Shot.As far as magic items go.Bow (fill in Later) 100kHewlet's Handy Haversack is a must, it more or less eliminates weight for your gear and you can stick a nearly never ending supply of arrows in one. 2k GoldBracers of Archery - +2 to hit +1 to damage is always worth while. 5kSomething to grant flight. You NEED mobility. There are a number of ways to do this.Mythril chain shirt - Probably want Med Fortification (75% chance to negate Crits/sneak attacks) and +5 enchantment. 66k goldRings - Evasion (Save for no damage on AE spells) and either Free Movement (Immune to Hold X or any spells that restrict movement, inc underwater) or +5 Protection Ring. They cost 25k, 40k and 50k respectively.Any or all of these are obviously extremely useful. They are each 36k.Amulet of health (+6)    Belt of giant strength (+6)Gloves of Dexterity (+6)Beads of Force are very useful at 2k a pop. Particularly if you tie them to the front of your arrows. I'd take at least 5 for 10k.Cloak of Displacement (Major) - 50k for a 50% miss chance vs ALL attacks.Dark Blue Ioun stone - Grants the Alertness feat. 8kVibrant purple Ioun stone - Stores six levels of spells, 12k. A myriad of uses.Lense of Detection - +10 to Search and Wilderness Lore skills. 3.5k</blockquote>
