[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 6105757, member: 12460"] This might actually be a better way to balance the feats, as the prereqs for the Arcane Archer prestige class are already steep and may not need to be (although with the exceptional power of archer builds I have seen in high-level play, I can see at least see some rationale for it). The main reason I did it this way was because I was going for a quite straight conversion of the mechanics from the prestige class to feats. I bent the rules a little bit in some cases, but only where I deemed it necessary. If I were to go back and try to balance this after I have done some of the other feats, I may indeed loosen the prerequisites.It is simply to keep the feat in line with 3.5 conventions. If these feats were to be included in an alphabetical list (which is not always the best way to list feats but is the way it is usually done in 3.5), then someone reading through them might want to know what all the prerequisites are when stumbling upon a feat of interest, at least that is what I believe the convention is for.Yes, that is exactly what I meant. It shall be corrected.The path of the arcane archer is an elven tradition in 3e. I didn't intend for this to be a racial progression, although the idea was inspired by that thread. It just so happened to be the first prestige class listed alphabetically in the DMG. :) [/QUOTE]
