An archetypal fantasy example ... I seem to recall every fighting member of the company of the ring was outfitted with a ranged weapon (were even the hobbits after picking up blades? and Bilbo considered himself quite expert with a simple thrown stone.). I can see why Paladins and Avengers would be against archetype ;-), I guess a ranged Defender doesnt work too great.... I guess a holy bowman champion of pelor.. Ranger multiclassed cleric? or maybe just reskinning the radiant beams as arrows... but maybe we need something like a divine translation of the Bard Paragon path... A feat I just was inspired toPerceptive Targeting : you may use Wisdom in place of Dex for ranged attacks (could be fun for my Strength Wisdom Paladin - or at least nice for any divine). --- when your god is a sun god being squeamish about ranged or having problems with a bow when your god is the moon doesnt make any sense).More archery not less ;-0</blockquote>
