From 2ndEd PnP rules it is the arrow bonus.

My experience in TOB however was the reverse, the bow's bonus was what was used. I did not test this in SOA however as I just blugeoned anything that my arrows would not hit. I ran into baddies that Gesen with +3 arrows could not touch that Tarlash and +3 ...

I would have been happy with my mage getting an extra 1st 2nd & 3rd lvl spells so they could fill up their lower lvl spells like a cleric.

As an aside... it would have been nice had they included the optional PnP 2ndED magic resistance rules. TOB favors fighter classes way too much.

The rule was ...

The only time the bow really mattered to me for my archer is when I soloed. When I did that I maxed short bow prof then long. So I would up using Tungan then Gesen and finally late in TOB Tarlash for the bosses and super tough monsters. Gesen would be my pick for all around bow just because I used ...

Prestige classes are like normal classes with the exception that they have certain prereqs that must be met before you can take a level in one of them.

For instance, taking a level as an Arcane Archer requires (among other things) your character to be able to cast 1st level arcane spells. This ...

Archers can make 10 attacks/round normally when enchanted by improved haste and using improved gauntlets of weapon specialization or Tungan Bow.

I would suggest smite and critical strike to maximize the utility of your archer.

Sleeping with Phaere is always a romance killer with Aerie, but with Jaheria and Viconia disaster can be avoided.

I DLed 4.4 and will be able to test that out tomorrow. For posterity's sake I have been using _2 because that extra +1 thaco for elven archers is a moral imperative.

Thanks for the help.

I set the global ViconiaRomance countdown to 1, and let impatience do the rest. For some reason the CLUA command for the same just isn't working so I resorted to using SK. So it involved alot of the save, edit, save loop.

I do have the HappyScriptv4.1 installed so this may or maynot have something ...

**spoil**

I would have to say the Dakkon is my favorite. The premise of the NO on a quest to find his soul as he helps Dakkon find his focus really resonates. From the story's perspective there isn't another NPC that really *has* to help NO.

Besides it is just like NO's engineer incarnation ...
