Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rackhir" data-source="post: 397594" data-attributes="member: 149">Excellent response Storm Raven, you hit nearly all the points that I would have.The only things I would add to your response are1) Wisdom bonuses buffs the will save (not an insignificant factor when hitting medium-high levels) and spot checks which can be important if you want to utilize the full range on your bow. So wisdom should not be last on the bow fighter list of stats (I'd say the ever dumped charisma). Also at the levels where Zen Archery is going to start kicking in (roughly 13+) a +2 or +4 wisdom item, is going to be readily available. So even without a native bonus the char can still benefit from it.2) For some reason the bonuses for the Bracers of Archery are reversed from what one would expect. They are +2 to hit and only +1 to damage (damage bonus within 30' Range). So while they do give you a slightly better to hit bonus than imp wpn spec, their damage bonus is worse than imp wpn focus. Considering that "to hit" bonuses are not generally a problem with archers, you have to give greater weight to available damage bonuses. 3) The Thirty foot range limit on many of the archer's bonuses, does mean that they will generally be within a standard move of most opponents, so do not underestimate the importance of Combat shot.</blockquote>
