[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6273945, member: 6696971"] [MENTION=6668292]JamesonCourage[/MENTION] If you don't want to go the Elementalist route, here is an archer that doesn't overlap with the Scout's shtick and has minimal mental overhead. All you really need to do is make Power Attack apply only to ranged weapon attacks (rename it Deadeye or something). 1) Arcana, Heal, Religion Rituals. 2) Arcane Mutterings to trade Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate for Arcana (1/Enc) 3) Encounter heal. 4) Encounter speed or Athletics bonus (great for combat or Skill Challenges) 5) Encounter + 4 hit or saving throw. 6) Encounter + Int damage and + 4 defenses against target UEoNT. 5) All skills pass the Medium DC at a very high % except B, D, and I (and you have Arcane Mutterings for that). 6) Big ranged damage with just RBA, big survivability (HPs + defenses), solid initiative. 7) Skirmishing stance or damage stance. 8) Two 1st level Rituals to choose and 1 K gold to play with (for more rituals or whatever).
