I feel that I should point out that there are comperable features on the defensive side.Has everyone forgotten that the Shield and Armor Bonuses stack?Has everyone forgotten that Magic Vestment on Shields and Armor Stack?So, if you forbid the things the archers benefit from are you going to ban the similar benefits the armor and cleric types benefit from?Frankly to a certain extent I think the whole "Problem with archers" is over blown. Yes, archers especially well crafted archers are very effective characters IF given proper support by party members. So those "ineffective" other characters are vital for the archers to be the efficient killing machines that they have the potential to be. In essence, you are complaining that the party is functioning as a team. Isn't that the point of the game? In Wizardru's campaign I can remember a number of times when insufficient cooperation made battles much harder than they could have been. Finally, once you start hitting the upper levels with 7th lv spells to a lesser extent and 8th + 9th level to be sure. Spell casters rapidly start to dominate things.</blockquote>
