[QUOTE="bret, post: 974553, member: 713"] As others have indicated, we don't know what has changed in Arcane Archer for 3.5e. Most likely, enough so that you will want to rebuild the character after you see the rules. For 3.0, Arcane Archer isn't one of the more powerful classes. If you've got others in the group capable of casting Greater Magic Weapon, your ability to shoot arrows that are equivilent to magic arrows of various power just isn't that impressive. Any interesting alternative may be going Fi/Wi/SpellSword/Arcane Archer. Mix the SpellSword and Arcane Archer levels to fit your preference. The SpellSword allows you to cast in armor and increase your spell level. It could benefit from the Imbue Arrow feat since you're caster level would be high enough to use other spells. If spells isn't why you're doing Arcane Archer, then look at the Order of the Bow Initiate. I think that is in Sword and Fist. [/QUOTE]
