Archer Questions

First... I used Shadow Keeper to make my Archer Lawful Evil; Does this cause him to lose any abilities or is that just when my rep goes below 4?

Second... Which profeciencies affect the archer? Im a Grandmaster with Long Bows, but what about Two Handed Weapon or Two weapon style?

Thanks.

Haven't tried it myself, but I can't see there being any problem with a Lawful Evil Ranger (Archer or otherwise). Note that if you prefer, you can always install the 'Generic Archer' fighter kit from the Ease-of-Use mod.

As for proficiencies - I'm guessing you mean what style proficiency will affect your use of the longbow? None. All the style proficiencies are for melee weapons. Stupid, but there's no 'Range Weapon' style proficiency.

I'd advise you to download the "Tactics" mod, then install the part called "Fighter Archer kit" or something like that. It allows your archer to basicly be a fighter, giving him more hp and stuff, which is nice. Reason to do this is so you can play as an evil archer. (as a ranger when your rep goes bellow either 6 or 4 you lose your status and become a fallen ranger, this makes you a straight fighter, losing all archer abilities.

Oops!

You're right, it's in the Tactics mod - for some reason I thought it was Ease-of-Use!

When you're a Generic Archer, you don't have rangers abilities such as Animal Empathy or Hide in shadow. You also loose the druid spells.

True, you do lose out on the Ranger abilities. On the other hand, you'll level up a bit faster, and can specialize in melee weapons. You can also be any race you want, and have more dual class options.

So there are some trade-offs, just throwing it out as an option. But as me0w mentioned, with the Archer (Ranger) you need to make sure your reputation stays above 4 - which might be an issue if you're wanting to play Evil.
