The following are drafts for PrCs based on those from Faiths and Pantheons, and for several elven deities. While they may be powerful, the requirements are (imo) rather harsh in return. I apologize for the incompelete entries, but these are drafts and I will edit them as they go. I look forward to your opinions and I hope you'll help me make some really good PrCs for your campaigns.
One note: in case of bonus domains for arcane casters, I'd disagree with the CDiv description.
- casters who prepare spells can scribe domain spells at any temple of the deity where there is a priest able to cast those spells, and they pay 1/3 of the cost normally associated with scribing spells
- spontaneous casters automatically learn 1+their int. bonus (if any) spells of this domain; the spells must be of a level they can cast.

Hunter of the Black Arrow
BAB 7+
Race: elf or half-elf
Fort save 5+, will save 3+
Skills: 6 ranks in Knowledge (dungeoneering), 2 ranks in knowledge (religion), 6 ranks in move silently, 8 ranks in hide
Deity: Shevarash
Feats: blind-fight, power attack, point-blank shot, precise shot
Ability: Favored enemy: elf / Servant of Lloth; must have low-light vision
HPs - 8
BAB: full
Saves – good fort, will
SPs – 6 – see ranger’s list
Spellcasting = ranger levels = class levels, except or levels 5 and 10
Abilities:
Poison resistance: starts at lvl 1 by giving +1 to fortitude saves against poison. The bonus improves by a further +1 every two levels.
Focused: with enough experience, the Hunter's mind becomes resistant to the trickery often employed by the drow and their allies, whether mundane or magical. He gains a + 2 bonus to his sense motive checks and will save.
Power shot: The trained hunter can sacrifice accuracy for damage, imposing a penalty to his attacks up to -5 for a corresponding bonus on the damage rolls with a bow.
Arrows become keen – bane ag. Favored enemy: By Shevarash's grave, the Hunter can enchant up to one quiver of arrows (up to 20 arrows) as a full-round action a number of times per day equal to 5+any charisma bonus s/he may have. These qualities do not stack with any other enhancements upon the arrows, except for those that deal only with attack and damage improvement (+1, +2, etc). They do stack, however, with any enhancements that the bow can impose ((I think that's how it works for all magical arrows, though...Correct me if I'm wrong.))
Sneak attack: at levels 4 and 8, treat it as a rogue's sneak attack. At levels 2,6, and 10, the hunter gains bonus dice for their sneak attack ability, but they can be used only against elves. For example: a ranger 10/Hunter 4 who attacks a flat-footed dark elf within a 30-feet range adds 2d6 sneak attack damage; if he were to attack an orc in the same conditions, he would add 1d6 damage.
Death shot: The most capable and proven hunters can invoke the Dark Archer's wrath through their attacks, possibly killing their foes with a single attack. A hunter of lvl 10 or above can designate an attack as a death shot a number of times per day equal to three plus any charisma bonus the character can have. Consider the attack as if the Hunter has fired an arrow of slaying for the type the favored enemy is.
1. Darkvision (or +30 feet), favored enemy+2 , poison res.
2. sneak attack +1d6 – elves only; arrows keen (fav. Enemy)
3. Unc. Dodge, Quick reach
4. Sneak attack +1d6, imp. Critical (fav. Enemy)
5. darkvision +30, favored enemy +2
6. Sneak attack +1d6 – elves only, arrows – bane (fav. Enemy) (move action to enchant up to one quiver, lasts 5+cha rounds, can be done a number of times equal to class level)
7. (Power shot), Focused,
8. sneak attack +1d6, imp. Critical (fav. Enemy)
9. imp. unc. Dodge, darkvision +30
10. Favored enemy, sneak attack +1d6/ elves only, arrows – slaying (fav. Enemy) 3+cha/day (move action to enchant), DC 20+ int.
Favored enemy must be elf, servant of Lloth, outsider (evil), outsider (chaotic), aberration (whatever drider counts as) , dwarf (duergar), vermin, magical beast. If the ranger chooses the servants of Lloth (from Races of the Wild elven ranger substitution levels) s/he gets a +3 bonus to all related rolls.
