Arcane Archer arrows

Yeah, it was an understandable mistake.

(I was like "Doh! I should've been clearer." )

I understood what you meant MT (yes, even before you clarified it).

Is that scary or what?

Only 1 arrow?? So, you want to make Rangers have one shot every 10 seconds? What if a flame strike or other such spell destroys that 1 arrow?? (small chance, but still a chance) No thank you. The 100 stack - even though we probably won't be shooting 100 at a time... it does stack with ManyShot, so we can use it with up to 4 arrows at a time, so the 1 arrow thing would make it totally suck.

Well.....the arrows are returning. You only need 1. But hey ...more is fine with me.



Sure, any fully optimized, ranged-only uber-build will never have a problem... but, there are people who play the game for enjoyment and haven't exactly built the 'specialist' archer. The + to hit is good and as has been pointed out, will go good with +1 Paralyzing bow of pure good (etc).

I said a well built Dex ranger.... U dont have to be uber. Any Dex build by 14th level will have at least +26 to hit without even trying
(BAB +14, 28 Dex +9, free feats +2, +1 Bow = +26 to hit) I find +26 sufficient to hit anything endgame.

in truth most will have closer to +29 to +32 ... In either case I dont really see +4 more to hit as a big deal.

I play to have fun...I am by no means leet or uber. My wizard ranger is a direct copy of my pen and paper version (more or less)
Hes got +29 to hit and I havent even streamlined him like some of my more focused "power-play" builds


.....its very do-able ...sorry If I came off as a guy who has a library of +2tomes, +6 stat items, the big 5 on all characters
and every named item in the bank.


Thats sooooooooo not me.

Yeah I want to be able to generate arrows of slaying!

I find those work the best . I would prefer the normal +1 - +5 arrows and maybe minor enchantments availible (elemental, keen, pure good, maiming, thundering, etc) You give them the better enchantments and their is gonna be a whole new topic that all other classes got nerfed.

Also if possible hail of arrows would be nice, but not necessary

good idea also.....if the burst effect is over-powered i think thundering or maiming would fit in there very nicely.

then I wouldnt have a problem giving them some bonuses to hit ...maybe +1 - +3 tops.

Yeah, but you can't use manyshot with only one arrow. And if that one arrow is destroyed by an off-chance flame strike or anything, you're s.o.l. How fast do the arrows return? That might slow down an already turtle-speed shot-rate. I could see 50 instead of 100, but the 100 stack is already coded, etc, so if it makes for easier coding, then why not? 1 would just be painfully nerve-wracking....

That is what I have now at lvl 13, and I still have quite a few "miss" pop up, especially on lvl 13 & 14 quests... not exactly "No problem" and the extra +4 or 5 would help. I suppose I do still hit 50% or more.... still... some of the end bosses I am only hitting 40%....
