02-24-05, 09:07 AM As the title suggests, I would like to hear someone's opinions on a matter. To tell the truth, I'm working with a Half-Elf Ranger, and I really don't know what Prestige Class I want him to go into. For starters, he's an Archer. Second? I don't want to add any classes to compromise his abilities (a.k.a., no Wizard to become an Arcane Archer, or anything of the sort). I'm looking for a class that would blend easily with his abilities, and be more of an asset to his archery than a liability.

02-24-05, 09:28 AM the deepwood sniper is an exellent one. my brother played one at sixth level with a flame burst bow, he was doing over 50 damage a crit and blowing the **** out of everything in sight. all their abilities bolster their archery skills and you need no other classes to get it.

02-24-05, 11:53 AM Go with the Deep wood sniper that is basicly your best choice if you are using a bow it is in the masters of the wild book. I played a 10 ranger and 6 deep wood sniper and had a nice crit range and a shocking bow and was dealing arround 50 to 120 damage per round and shooting 6 arrows in a round. With the rapid shot and many shot feat I would deffinetly suggest going with that.

syclonious :D

02-24-05, 12:00 PM I would reccomed that you take Order of the Bow Initiate. If possible, go get some info on the Scout class (in Complete Adventurer) and Multi-Class that with your Ranger.
I don't know about damage and all that, but it will tie in well.

02-24-05, 01:57 PM You may not want to Prc but if that's the case Deep woods Sniper. The other thing you may do is bump over to fighter for a few levels to pick up a couple of feats. Not really a Prc but would help your archery out.

02-25-05, 03:10 AM I have been playing archers for ages. I Know that the dark wood sniper is a good class to go into as is the order of the bow initiative. I have no idea why you went ranger cause fighters are just so much better for archery because of the feats!!!! Try rouge for sneak attacks. Good luck. Currently i am playing a 25level archer thing (Elef: 5levels ranger; 6 levels fighter; 10levels deep wood sniper; 4 levels order of bow intiative...) YAY EPICNESS

Hope this Helps

02-25-05, 09:09 AM Well, I wanted a Ranger because, frankly, I like his nature feats. I like that he gets an Animal Companion, and other stuff like that. He gets free Archer-based feats at certain levels, and he can cast divine spells. Screw the fighter! I have five characters, one being a Fighter already, and I don't want any multiple classes. So, that's why I'm sticking with a Ranger Archer. :P

Also, try rouge to hide "problem" areas!!!!
Just.Couldn't. Resist.

02-25-05, 12:56 PM Order of the Bow Initiate The best 3.5 pure Archer PrC I've seen yet... now if Deepwood sniper was remade to 3.5 that would likely be a better choice.
