And I just got a pretty damn good idea....

I think it's called the Helm of Vhailor or something, from Deidre, the bonus merchant. Simulacrum with the Archer = a whole load of arrows coming straight toward the enemy.

Yea, the archer part adds like 9 damage (7 from lvl 21, 2 from called shot). Think how much a pure Archer could do? lol. Or better yet pure Generic Archer, only problem then is no DUHM so harder to get 25 str. Harder, not impossible.

You should try out an all ranged, 6 person party. Really, really fun.

Man, you know heaps of things >.<

And DUHM? Harder to get 25 strength? Explain please? :D

And I thought a pure archer would be stronger than a archer/cleric. But what do you mean by a pure generic archer? An archer/archer? :speech:

And holy crap, a pure archer party. Complete mayhem there...

Must be annoying to get all the arrows though. :mad:

Generic archer is a fighter kit from tactics mod. Can get higher bonus hit and dmg than ranger archer kit because fighters level higher.

Ammo storage isn't bad if you use ease of use mod (infinite stacking).

DUHM is 2nd level priest spell (Draw Upon Holy Might). Gives 6 to STR, DEX, CON (at max lvl). You can get it as an innate though with certain alignments.

Ooooh. Okey doke then.

I gotta try Generic Archer out then. :D

And max level of Draw Upon Holy Might? I thought it was only one level.

It gets better with caster level. So lvl 20 cleric has more powerful DUHM than lvl 1 cleric.

Does that apply to Archers as well?

If you mean a pure Archer (Ranger kit) they do not get DUHM it is a cleric spell not druid (I think).

Oh, that's right, they're Druid spells >.<

My bad.

Ah well, I've switched my character to a generic archer. Gonna test it in like 5 minutes after I'm done doing some other things. :)
