As per requirements for class: My group had ideas of changing the Climb Requirement to Hide, the Mountain Warrior Requirement to Woodland Archer. As for class benefits: Instead of Adept Climber, change this to Hidden Sniper. Benefit, when sniping the Archer gains a +4 to re-hide after the shot as per able sniper feat (or gains this feat for free). Instead of Strike from Above, the Archer gains a +2 to damage when the target cannot pinpoint their location, eg Hidden. And finally, Instead of Mountain Skin have Wooden Skin giving Damage reduction Silver instead of Adamantine but otherwise the benefit is the same. Otherwise all other benefits are as per normal. Do these sound reasonable? Does anyone have other options they have used themselves?

The climb ranks and Mountain Warrior are nowhere near as useful to this type of character as the hide ranks and Woodland Archer would be. By swapping out the prereqs for things more useful to the character in question, you eliminate much of the cost of entry for the prestige class. Simultaneously, you're replacing two class features with ones that I'd call pretty conclusively superior. My personal instinct is that neither of these are excellent ideas - but then, I'm not a big fan of houserules in the first place. I tend to try to find solutions to problems within the predefined limitations of RAW/RAI before I resort to houseruling. So take my comment with a grain of salt. Nothing you're proposing here would break the game any further than a mildly ambitious full caster.
