Message: <blockquote data-quote="Endur" data-source="post: 487137" data-attributes="member: 3346">Unbalanced and Too PowerfulI agree.  The PRC and some of the feats are way too powerful.Below is how I would balance the feats and abilities.Called Shot seemed like a reasonable feat.Improved Aimed Shot and Improved All Out Attack need to be fixed:Instead of a -4 dodge penalty, call it what it really is: The archer (or fighter) loses his Dex bonus to AC (so he can be sneak attacked, etc.) and is treated as Dex 0 for AC purposes until the start of the archer/fighter's next turn.  IF you use one of these feats, you aren't paying any attention to defense.Improved Dodge: the +2 ac should only apply to one opponent.Negate Critical: I could see a feat like this, but not based on attack rolls, too easy for a fighter with a magic sword to never suffer a critical.  Instead, it ought to be based on con and toughness.Instinctive Shot: I don't understand the double the wisdom modifier.  I think it should just be wisdom modifier.For the Prestige class, a +20 insight bonus 1/per level per day that ignores concealment is pretty powerful.  Way too powerful.4 skill points a level, d8 hit points, good reflex and will saves, full BAB, and a ton of abilities.Greater Mastery has to go.KI Arrows: Essentially the same as the Arcane Archer abilityCount up the feats:Instinctive Strike, Still Mind, Strength of Will, (Great Sharpshooter), Penetrating Shot (double damage on a called shot),Special Abilities: Undeflectable Shot, Ranged-Blind Fight, Finding the Target (totally eliminates all penalties for called/aimed shots),True Seeing once per day,  Grand Mastery: +20 insight bonus for every arrow fired.Ok: All the Mastery benefits have to go.  I could see letting the character cast True Strike as a spell-like ability 1/day, but that's it.  Maybe 2 or 3/day at most.For the feats and special abilities, pick half.  Those you keep; the rest are gone.That's how I would balance the prestige class.Tom</blockquote>
