Rogue Archer Build Tweaking

[KerlanRayne]

If you can house-rule in a ghost touch bow or arrow enhancement (by the RAW, that weapon property applies to melee weapons only) then blink + sneak attack is the bomb.

Ghost touch doesn't remove miss chance from Blink.

I think one can live with 20% Miss Chance in Medium Levels for the benefit of shooting a Sneak Attack every time...
On High Levels you should have a Spellcaster with Improved Invisibility anyway, or?

Good enchantments are:
Distance (doubles range Increment) +1
Flaming / frost / Shock all +1
Blood Seeking (Fire at Targets behind total cover?) +1
Exit Wounds (for some extra gore) +2
Knockback (STR+8 Bullrush on Target) +3

I don't know how effective Knockback would realy be in high Levels, so i don't know if it's worth the +3

Just save all your Money on a "Bow of Flaming Shocking Frost" (lol) that would be a total of +3 don't buy any normal enchantments.
Go Arcane Archer and Fire mundane arrows all the time (very cheap) that will add some 3d6 of extra damage and have the +1 to +5 enchantment from an Arcane Archer...

Forget about Ghost Touch, it just makes the Weapon kind of intersting to look at

Surely someone else must be thinking that "Rogue Archer", as in an archer who goes bad, sounds like a KICKASS character concept, if not an actual character name.
