One of my players is playing an "archer" ranger. He'd like to take a prestige class but hasnt found anything he likes. We've made up our own PrClasses before, and I just don't want to go through the hassle. here's the email he sent me. Hope you can help...
"Okay, we're proooobably going up a level in the next couple of sessions, so we should get down to brass tacks (the next feat makes all the difference in PrC's). The Prestige Classes in Masters of the Wild were pretty stupid - Deepwood Sniper was okay, but it basically amounted to "you're really good with a bow".
The King of <Terrain> class was okay in theory, but in practice, the King of the Forest subclass (the best fit) basically got the Far Shot feat - my character already has precise shot, gets endurance automatically next level, and Brachination is kind of dorky.
Trouble is, I'm not really sure what's out there, abilities wise. I like the idea of building on Endurance - my clan are an old people accustomed to living out in these lands, so it makes some sense. Maybe something built in with "self sufficient" and the like.... there aren't that many "you're a tough old dog" feats to build around...hmmm.
I also kinda like the idea of trick shots - not trick shots in the sense of shooting around corners and arrows that split in half to strike different targets and the like, but something like "crippling shot" (which would hamstring the victim) or "aortic shot" (causing the victim to bleed) or something like that. Maybe not for this class, though, I'm not sure. "
Any help?
