Arcane Archer

Archived from groups: alt.games.neverwinter-nights (More info?)

Hi folks,
To become an Arcane Archer one must learn first grade arcane arts (sorry if
this isn't hte right word, I'm from Germany).
Question is: Where to learn arcane arts?
Thanks in advance

Arcane Arts is magic as practiced by wizards, Sorcerers and Bards.
You must have one level of wizard or sorcerer to be able to become an
Arcane Archer. Bard also works but it requires a higher level because
they can't cast spells at level 1.

All it really means is you must be able to cast level 1 "arcane type"
spells.

The only real complication is that this limits the possible combinations
since in-game you can only have 3 classes and two of them are locked
down by arcane archer and the magic pre-req.

Pick your starting class Ie, Fighter,then pick 1 arcane level in Wizard,
Sorcerer. A few difrentAA builds as examples are:

Fighter/Wiz/AA
Bard/RDD/AA
Bard/Barb/AA
Rogue/Wiz/AA

Except that an Arcane Archer's Enhance Arrows ability stacks with magic
arrows, so that a normal +3 arrow, fired by a tenth-level Arcane Archer,
is effectively a +8 arrow.

True but most builds go for at least enough levels of Fighter to p/u Wpn
Spec. You do know + arrows stack with your AA enchant arrow skill right?.
Heh wait till you see what a 20th level AA has for BAB and damager
inflicted, add Rouge to that and damage becomes insane 8), as long as you
have a good meats sheild and target is not immune to SA 8).

Also if your into archers I'd sugest checking out the PRC @
http://nwnprc.netgamers.co.uk/

This adds the Archer, Peerless archer, Blood archer etc , as well as feats,
Ie, Ranged sneak attack, Power shot, Many shot, Perfect shot, Killing shot
etc. My current chara is an Elf Bard/AA/Peerless Archer.

Regards, John
