[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2074714, member: 29014"] Ah, there you go then. The archer isn't broken, he just got good rolls compared to the others, who sound like they may all be underpowered and/or not damagers (Paladins don't really do much damage, Rangers are wimpy unless they luck out and face their favoured enemy, Monks...are good to multiclass into to cherrypick and can't hit very well as you mentioned [and two Monks is a crowd], Druids who don't wildshape aren't trying to do damage [although to be fair, a 5th-level Druid just got the ability recently and probably hasn't had the time to take Natural Spell yet], and Arcane Tricksters are cool, but Sorcerers are overall weak for a spellcaster and before you actually get the Arcane Trickster prestige class, the player experiences several levels of being really weak [the same goes doubly for Mystic Theurge], so your Trickster will probably improve once she actually becomes a Trickster). Its funny though, that an archer would be your problem considering the number of people complaining about how archers are underpowered...I guess its just because you don't have a Two-handed-weapon-wielding Barbarian or Fighter with Power Attack in the mix or a 5th-level wizard (you only have 1 dedicated caster in the party who actually has 3rd-level spells, and it looks like it wasn't the right person for a combat-oriented party at least). So its all very situational, I suppose. Usually "broken" refers to rules-bending to an absurd extent, like the well-known thousand-damage-dealing Hulking Hurler or the AC 60+ cohort I mentioned, characters who would become problems in any campaign they entered.
