The first class for my d20 system. It is a simple non-magic based archery class. In my specific retooling of the system classes have lower HP, and some mechanics work a bit differently.
If you wish to convert this class to normal DnD change Ranged Precision to d8's and grant the class d8 Hit Dice.
My goal for this class was to make it Tier 3 so on par with the TOB classes.
Please Peach if you can. Thanks.
Archer
“Yes they do look flashy wrapped in armor and carrying those heavy swords. Let’s see how they look with a few feathers sticking out of them.”
-Delan, archer
A master of the bow and crossbow. Archers uses their keenly honed senses and precision to topple stronger foes with relative ease from safe distances. Using the very environment to assist them, archers can become skilled hunters or ambushers that strike without warning upon their opponents. Their mastery of ranged combat and tactical skill makes them feared on any battlefield.
MAKING AN ARCHER
An archer is a second line martial fighter. She fires upon her opponents at a distance and uses her wits and skill to gather kills.
Abilities: Dexterity is of foremost importance to an archer as it is needed to accurately fire her primary weapons, it also helps to mitigate her low defense for a martial class. Wisdom is also highly useful as several of her class abilities depend upon it as well as some useful skills.
Race: Of the base races elves and half-elves are the most prone to becoming archers, though it is not uncommon for many races to take up archery. Humans are also very common archers, which are common at the outskirts of civilization as hunters or as members of the army. Halflings archers are also common, as their small size makes the more direct martial classes infeasible. Among Gnomes archers are uncommon but not unheard of; as the amount of training it takes to master the archery seems a waste of time when more arcane options are available. Half-orcs tend to follow their societies trends when it comes to archery, if raised in a more human society half-orcs can be uncommon archers as their talents tend to lie in other areas. Orcs vary clan to clan though most do not choose the path of the archer. Dwarves are the rarest of archer, as their underground homes twist and turn too much for archery to be practical, as well as their society views indirect warfare as dishonorable.

*Quarry (Ex): An archer can, as a standard action, denote one target within her line of sight as her quarry. Whenever she is following the tracks of her quarry, an archer can take 10 on her survival skill checks while moving at normal speed, without penalty. In addition, she receives a +2 insight bonus on attack rolls made against his quarry and all critical threats are automatically confirmed. An archer may have no more than 1 quarry at a time. She can end this affect at any time as a free action, but she cannot select another quarry for 24 hours.
*Precise Shot: An archer gains an additional +1d6 to her ranged precision attack. This ability increases to +2d6 at 10th level.

*Hunting Mastery (Ex): An archer may choose to take 10 when using the Perception, Survival, and Knowledge (Nature) skills when in a favored terrain, even if stress or distraction would normally prevent her from doing so.
*Improved Evasion (Ex): An archer’s evasion improves. This ability works like evasion, except that while the archer still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless archer does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
*Improved Quarry (Ex): Requires the Quarry ability. An archer’s ability to hunt down her quarry improves. She can now select a quarry as a free action. She can now take 20 while using Survival to track her quarry, while moving at normal speed without penalty. Her insight bonus to attack her quarry increases to +4.

If her shot deals damage the targeted opponent must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + ½ archer level + her Wisdom modifier) or plummet from the sky, this ability work against all flying opponents, including those flying with magic.
Bonus Feat: At 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter (7th, 11th, 15th, 19th) an archer may select a bonus feats. These feats must be taken from the following list: Dazzling Display, Deadly Aim, Defending Shot, Dodge, Endurance, Far Shot, Improved Critical (Bows or Crossbows), Lightning Reflexes, Manyshot, Mobility, Pinpoint Targeting, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Quick Draw, Ranged Disarm, Ranged Pin, Ranged Sunder, Rapid Reload, Rapid Shot, Sharp Shooting, Shot on the Run, Spring Attack, Track, and Weapon Focus (Bows or Crossbows). She must meet all prerequisites for her selected feat.
Evasion (Ex): At 3rd level and higher, if an archer makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can only be used if the archer is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load. A helpless archer does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Fast Movement (Ex): At 5th level an archers base land speed increases by +10. This benefit applies only when she is wearing no armor, light armor, medium armor, and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the archer’s speed because of any load carried or armor worn. This bonus increases by an additional +10 at 11th and 18th level.
Shot on the Run: At 6th level an archer gains the Shot on the Run feat, even if she does not have the prerequisites. If she already has this feat she may instead take another from her Bonus Feat list.
Flawless Stride (Ex): At 7th level an archer may move through any sort of terrain that slows movement at her normal speed without taking damage or suffering other impairment. Areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect her.
Swift Tracker (Ex): Beginning at 8th level, an archer can move at her normal speed while using Survival to follow tracks without taking the normal -5 penalty. She takes only a -10 (instead of the normal -20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.
Trackless Step (Ex); At 9th level an archer leaves no trail within their favored terrain. She may choose to leave a trail if so desired.
Camouflage (Ex): At 13th level an archer may use the Stealth skill to hide in any favored terrain, even if the terrain doesn’t grant cover or concealment.
Hide in Plain Sight (Ex): While in any favored terrain, an archer of 17th level or higher can use the Stealth skill even while being observed.
Perfect Shot on the Run (Ex): As a full round action an archer may take a full movement action and take a standard attack action (this includes ranged precision attack) at any point during your movement.
If you wish to convert this class to normal DnD change Ranged Precision to d8's and grant the class d8 Hit Dice.
My goal for this class was to make it Tier 3 so on par with the TOB classes.
Please Peach if you can. Thanks.
Archer
“Yes they do look flashy wrapped in armor and carrying those heavy swords. Let’s see how they look with a few feathers sticking out of them.”
-Delan, archer
A master of the bow and crossbow. Archers uses their keenly honed senses and precision to topple stronger foes with relative ease from safe distances. Using the very environment to assist them, archers can become skilled hunters or ambushers that strike without warning upon their opponents. Their mastery of ranged combat and tactical skill makes them feared on any battlefield.
MAKING AN ARCHER
An archer is a second line martial fighter. She fires upon her opponents at a distance and uses her wits and skill to gather kills.
Abilities: Dexterity is of foremost importance to an archer as it is needed to accurately fire her primary weapons, it also helps to mitigate her low defense for a martial class. Wisdom is also highly useful as several of her class abilities depend upon it as well as some useful skills.
Race: Of the base races elves and half-elves are the most prone to becoming archers, though it is not uncommon for many races to take up archery. Humans are also very common archers, which are common at the outskirts of civilization as hunters or as members of the army. Halflings archers are also common, as their small size makes the more direct martial classes infeasible. Among Gnomes archers are uncommon but not unheard of; as the amount of training it takes to master the archery seems a waste of time when more arcane options are available. Half-orcs tend to follow their societies trends when it comes to archery, if raised in a more human society half-orcs can be uncommon archers as their talents tend to lie in other areas. Orcs vary clan to clan though most do not choose the path of the archer. Dwarves are the rarest of archer, as their underground homes twist and turn too much for archery to be practical, as well as their society views indirect warfare as dishonorable.

*Uncanny Dodge (Ex): An archer retains her Dexterity bonus to Defense (if any) even if caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If an archer already has uncanny dodge from a different class, she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.
*Wing Piercing Shot (Ex): An archer may make a standard action to attack a creature that is flying at half her ranged precision bonus. If her shot deals damage the targeted opponent must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + ½ archer level + her Wisdom modifier) or plummet from the sky, this ability work against all flying opponents, including those flying with magic.
Bonus Feat: At 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter (7th, 11th, 15th, 19th) an archer may select a bonus feats. These feats must be taken from the following list: Dazzling Display, Deadly Aim, Defending Shot, Dodge, Endurance, Far Shot, Improved Critical (Bows or Crossbows), Lightning Reflexes, Manyshot, Mobility, Pinpoint Targeting, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Quick Draw, Ranged Disarm, Ranged Pin, Ranged Sunder, Rapid Reload, Rapid Shot, Sharp Shooting, Shot on the Run, Spring Attack, Track, and Weapon Focus (Bows or Crossbows). She must meet all prerequisites for her selected feat.
Evasion (Ex): At 3rd level and higher, if an archer makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can only be used if the archer is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load. A helpless archer does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Fast Movement (Ex): At 5th level an archers base land speed increases by +10. This benefit applies only when she is wearing no armor, light armor, medium armor, and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the archer’s speed because of any load carried or armor worn. This bonus increases by an additional +10 at 11th and 18th level.
Shot on the Run: At 6th level an archer gains the Shot on the Run feat, even if she does not have the prerequisites. If she already has this feat she may instead take another from her Bonus Feat list.
Flawless Stride (Ex): At 7th level an archer may move through any sort of terrain that slows movement at her normal speed without taking damage or suffering other impairment. Areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect her.
Swift Tracker (Ex): Beginning at 8th level, an archer can move at her normal speed while using Survival to follow tracks without taking the normal -5 penalty. She takes only a -10 (instead of the normal -20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.
Trackless Step (Ex); At 9th level an archer leaves no trail within their favored terrain. She may choose to leave a trail if so desired.
Camouflage (Ex): At 13th level an archer may use the Stealth skill to hide in any favored terrain, even if the terrain doesn’t grant cover or concealment.
Hide in Plain Sight (Ex): While in any favored terrain, an archer of 17th level or higher can use the Stealth skill even while being observed.
Perfect Shot on the Run (Ex): As a full round action an archer may take a full movement action and take a standard attack action (this includes ranged precision attack) at any point during your movement.
