I'm seeking a class to augment my archery, but also do a bit of seraching/detecting my mundane or mystical means.

at this point, the only thing i can think of is to jsut be a ranger rouge, but i really wanted something with a mystical twist.

I've torn through all of the DnD books i could find, and even went back to 3.0 to keep looking. there are a number of them that i found interesting, but i didnt meant the alignment requirements.

Any suggestions/paths suggested would be appreciated.

Thanks.

11-01-04, 04:37 PM I looked at order of the bow,
and at present, i can do 3d6 peircing and 3d6 fire as a full roudn attack at a max range of at present 199 ft.
the 8 dmg added bythe initiate means i'm using a standard action, meaning 1d6 peirce, 1d6 fire, and 1d8 peirce, at a range of 30.

unless i'm misunderstanding it or missign soemthing. i do greatly appreciate the advise tho!

11-01-04, 05:48 PM The beauty of the OotBI is that you gain +1d8 every other lvl - Think of it as you get 1 extra attack - every other lvl - at your highest Atk bonus ( kinda )

You also gain the ability to use a bow while threatend - And threaten 5' (only know of one or two other PrC that allows this - outside of and Epic feat ) - and later can use your precision dmg at 60'- Its percision based dmg so it works on EVERTHING - unlike Elemental dmg, or Sneak attack.

Whats the OoBI really Excels at is shot on the run - move, attack, move. And shoot for 50+ dmg per hit forcing fort saves due to massive Dmg.

Also - since your geting alot of OOmpf out of 1 arrow - you have more incentive to use better magical arrows - where usualy, when you busting through 5 of em a round or so - its insanely expensive.

Look to make 1 really big hit every round, rahter then more smaller ones.
