I'm going to try and collate all the entries so we end up with a document which can be used to quickly generate an NPC for example, I want a 9th level knight, and it will fill in most of the blanks itself.For those that didn't follow the other discussion an archetype can be any class or mixture there of and will show the development at various important stages.To get us started here is my first entry:The Mounted ArcherWhether on the vast tundra or in the depths of the forests the Mounted Archer can be a fearsome opponent. With the advantage of fast movement and never needing to close to melee range the Mounted Archer can attack and be away to a safe distance before you know what has hit you.The Mounted Archer will concentrate ability scores in Dex. They likely wear little armour so Con would also be allocated a high score. Strength is another useful ability especially if armed with a mighty bow.Human Warrior ProgressionLevel 1Skills: Ride (4), Craft-Bowyer/Fletcher (2), 4 points remainingFeats: Mounted Combat, Mounted ArcheryBAB: +1Base HP: 5Max HP: 8Saves: Fort +2, Ref +0, Will +0Level 3Skills: Ride (6), Craft-Bowyer/Fletcher (4), 0 points remainingFeats: Mounted Combat, Mounted Archery, Point Blank ShotBAB: +3Base HP: 14Max HP: 24Saves: Fort +3, Ref +1, Will +1Level 6Skills: Ride (9), Craft-Bowyer/Fletcher (7), 0 points remainingFeats: Mounted Combat, Mounted Archery, Point Blank Shot, Weapon FocusBAB: +7Base HP: 27Max HP: 48Saves: Fort +5, Ref +2, Will +2Level 9Skills: Ride (12), Craft-Bowyer/Fletcher (10), 0 points remainingFeats: Mounted Combat, Mounted Archery, Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus, Far ShotBAB: +7Base HP: 41Max HP: 72Saves: Fort +6, Ref +3, Will +3Level 12Skills: Ride (15), Craft-Bowyer/Fletcher (13), 0 points remainingFeats: Mounted Combat, Mounted Archery, Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus, Far Shot, Rapid ShotBAB: +12Base HP: 54Max HP: 96Saves: Fort +8, Ref +4, Will +4The truly deadly Mounted Archers are those who progress as fighters. With their greater feat selection they can become a truly devastating enemy, difficult to defend against and capable of inflicting terrible damage while minimizing their opponents ability to attack them. I'll run through the Mounted Archer Fighter progression in the future.That's it for now, tell us what you think, add your own, make changes. The more people contributing the better.</blockquote>
