Just to let everyone know, I made the following additon to my archer thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=2594082#post2594082). I'll gladly accept any comments, suggestions, or a notation of any discovered problems in this thread. Well, here is the addition: Since there is a preview of the Cragtop Archer (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/iw/20040815b) for me to work from, I figured I’d add in a build that incorporates it. As I do not own the book I don’t know what it has for good and bad saves (I would assume good Fort and Ref), but those of you who actually own Races of Stone can find that out for yourselves. I’m also taking into account the fact that there are several new Ranger spells in Complete Adventurer that are pretty powerful. So, without further eloquence, here are two different takes at a fully 3.5 compatible archer build for those restricted to Core, the Complete series, and the Races series. I will readily admit that the second build may not work, due to the fact that there probably aren't a lot of deities that have a Greatbow as a favored weapon.

Many of the options listed above would be perfectly viable in either of these builds.That last little bit about finishing off the build is in reference to a 3.5 OotBI/Pious Templar build previously found in the thread.
