so i was looking around and i came up with an idea of making a Zen Archer WarPriest. now i found that if you take human warpriest favored class you 9 out of the 11 bonus feats from fighter over 18 levels you also get weapon focus for free so 10/11 ain't bad. if we combine this with zen archer monk, that also gets weapon focus we can use the sacred weapon damage from warpriest on the bow and have a strong back up weapon. but is it worth it to take only 2 levels of Zen archer to get flurry of arrows and wis to ranged? or should i take more? also what combos would work for this?

Its three levels to get WIS to attack and flurry won't be much use in later levels since it is its own thing that won't sale with warpriest levels. Eventually you will be better off with rapid shot/many shot. Still, WIS to AC & attack is nice, even better is you can get a guided bow (check with DM, designers suggest not allowing guided on ranged weapons). Jumping out of zen archer after a few levels isn't a bad idea and the SADness will boost your casting too.

You can also get Wis to attack by worshiping a deity with a bow as their favored weapon (e.g. Erastil) and taking the Guided Hand (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/-guided-hand) feat.

so if i do this, i wouldn't need to take zen archer to 3ed level and i could keep my 4th bonus feat from human. although i would have to wait till 6th level to do this since warpriest gets channel at level 4, maybe i can skip monk altogether. also is there a way to add channel smite to ranged attacks?
