Arcane Prodigy

[Visty]

Elf Arcane Archer I and Ranger Arcane Archer I now have Arcane Prodigy as an additional optional prerequisite.

what is that?
neither the compendium nor the search brings anything

I think it is the granted feat if you take a casting class (wiz, sorc, fvs, cleric not sure about bard) at level one, it grants you +20 sp. I think.

nop, just checked that

and even then the compendium should know that too

Probably this one

Past Life: Arcane Prodigy
You recall more about your past life as a sorcerer. Your maximum spell points are increased by 10 at first level, and 5 spell points for each additional level and can produce random elemental damage spells ten times per rest. (Activate this sorcerer ability to blast a target with a ray of combined elements, doing 1d12 damage of a random elemental type plus an additional 1d12 per three caster levels on impact. A successful Reflex save reduce the damage by half.)

I would have though it would have been the wizard past life Arcane Initiate though

[Visty]

bummer, that sucks...thanks though

Interesting crossover

[Pereghost]

Maybe added it so that Sorcerors can meet the prereqs without taking mental toughness since the Bard and Wizard have enhancements they can take instead already.

[Visty]

sorcs have their sp line too

In order to use most of the Arcane Archer PrE you need Spell points... this Feat would grant you spell points without class levels.

In other words you could make a Pure Fighter Arcane Archer now with Full Kensai, Arcane Archer and Fighter Capstone...

in theory

Lemme get this straight, you can TR a sorcerer into a ranger, pick up that feat along the way, and make a pure ranger arcane archer, thus preserving a 20 BAB and ranger Ranged Alacrity capstone?

pure ranger can already have all tiers of arcane archer.

Yep

Eladrin brought this up before Update 2 went live.

Umm thats not correct Arcane Prodigy is the one that costs a Feat.


This is the freebie:
Past Life: Sorcerer
You were a sorcerer in a past life. You occasionally find yourself daydreaming of dragons. Each time you acquire this feat you gain +1 to the DC's of your Evocation spells and gain 20 additional spell points. (These spell points are only available if you are able to cast spells.) This feat can be stacked up to three times.

ah ok then yeah I got myself confuzzed (which is like confused but with more hair and a tad of static electricity)

So it still costs a Feat one way or the other

[Kaervas]

Ah ok. Thanks for clarifying, I'm not too savvy on arcane archer despite having a ranger, just rushed him up tempest quickly without looking at the other options (after reading the AA prereqs I am embarrassed now for missing something so obvious).

It still costs a feat, but one of those feats can be taken by non-casting classes.

I took arcane prodigy when I reincarnate my gimped human sorc into an unstoppable force (WF).

It's pretty cool...same as mental toughness with 10 clickies of a ray of elements. The graphic is very cool and it's hit for 840, 1020, etc. That's level 9 spell damage, so, in effect, you're getting an extra 750 sp worth of damage spells for free.

Note...evasion types evade the ray more often than not.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

So the ultimate archer is now a Ftr who was formally a Sor?!
