Attacks: +59 / +59 / +54 / +49 / +44 Damage: 1d8 + 21

Surprisngly, the Arcane Archer also has good defensive capabilities. His Armour Class when wearing nothing but a mundane robe is 26. He also has a +5 bonus to saving throws vs. spells due to the Spell Craft ranks, as well as bonuses from the feats Luck of Heros and Iron Will.

With tactical grace, this character can choose the location and timing of his battles. Thanks to excellent stealth abilities, he has +59 to Hide and Move Silently. Character Advancement History
