Deep Wood Sniper for 3.5? [Archive] - Wizards Community

07-22-04, 03:45 PM I am developing an Elven Ranger. We are starting at 5th level. Basically my question is whether there is an updated Deep Wood Sniper anywhere in the D&D world... I like the prestige class, but I can tell it will be a lot different when updated to 3.5 and I basically don't want to spend the time updating it and finally getting it okayed by my current DM.

Anyway, Thanks for any help.

07-22-04, 06:17 PM Living Greyhawk, and I believe possibly also WotC, have stated that DWS needs no update, and is functional in 3.5 as it is.

07-22-04, 08:26 PM Well, thanks for the info. It seems a little off on a couple things, but I will see if I still want it if that is the case.

07-22-04, 10:04 PM Absolutely the Opposite. It is broken, dropped, and needs a major re-write for 3.5.

It is true that Living Greyhawk did allow old PrC's until they had been re-printed. However, in a way, CW came out and DWS should have been in there- and wasn't. Thus, it's dropped & dead.

07-23-04, 09:32 AM Well, When it didn't come out in the complete warrior I thought there would be a complete wilderness book. However, the more I hear it seems that wizards is stopping with the complete adventerer book. Of course I can hope it will be in the complete adventurer, but the fact it is for shooting at long distances seems like it wouldn't fit well with the rogue type theme I believe that book will have.

At first glance it sounds really roguish. Then it is from as far away as possible and who would want to lose the rogue sneak attack bonus.

But, I admit it is possible which is why I mentioned it.

07-23-04, 12:21 PM It's more a ranger PrC, and thus it'd would have been in CW. But that does not preclude some sort of ranged rogue in the last "complete" book.
