[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 329104, member: 4937"] There are several ways to go here depending on your playing style: Given all your bow feats I'm assuming that you would get some use out of Improved Critical, so that sounds like a reasonable choice. However, there are alot of times that what you are shooting at isn't vulnerable to criticals, and with your (relatively) low BAB this isn't quite as huge as it might otherwise be. Quicken Spell can be a great feat, but I rarely see people prepare more than one or two spells quickened so there is a real question of whether or not you are getting your usage out of it. I normally recommend Combat Reflexes for everyone, but that is going to depend on whether or not your DM frequently does dirty tricks like swarming, grappling, disarms, trips, etc. Because you have Uncanny Dodge, you probably aren't as vunerable flat footed as some anyway. Also, since you seem to be an archer so you are often going to be without a threatened zone anyway. Since you've already got Extend Spell, and you mention that you use alot of buffs, I'm going to put my strongest recommendation behind Persistant Spell. What is good for 15 rounds is even better all day long. I'd defenately stay away from Maximize spell. If you want to get more fun out of your lower level spells, try Chain Spell. If you don't like those Improved Counterspell can be fun. [/QUOTE]
