Unfortunately, you won't have any spell points to power your Arcane Archer abilities as a pure class fighter, even with Arcane Prodigy - like the Past Life, the spell points are only granted to those that actually possess a spell point pool.

The thought was that Arcane Prodigy is "Mental Toughness Plus", so if Mental Toughness was a valid prereq, it should be one too.

Ohhhhh. I see now.

Ah...didn't think about that. Thx.


Which raises some serious questions on what to do about my archer.....now that it looks like I'll be able to respect him and get kensei III. And now that Bow Str is a selectible feat.

What should my other two lvls be? Hmmm....?
Sor2 maybe? Although I had planned for Wiz1 and got him an 11 Int already.

That is what's been happening with things like that, but the in-game descriptions don't support it. For example, Arcane Archer provides a bonus to spellpoints, which could be expected to bring a pure fighter up from zero to a usable number.

Yeah, definitely a build to think about when I have the time...

Since you're stuck with level 1 spells, I might just go FvS, at least +1/+1 from Divine Favor will have some use throughout your entire career. Still get Nightshield for Magic Missile protection too, but I can't think of many level 1 Arcane spells (cast at caster level 2) that would have much use...I guess Shield, maybe.

You could always go weird and go 1 Sorc/1 FvS, hehehe.

If your class doesn't have SP, bonuses to SP are totally useless regardless of where you acquire them, since you don't have SP to begin with. A Past Life feat that gives EXTRA SP is obviously not going to do so if you don't have SP for it to work on.
