Hi Folks,

I was wondering, what would be the best way to represent a magic archer? I was thinking one of a few ways

Warlock/Sorcerer (Maybe 6 lock/14 sorcerer) using Elderitch blast to represent the arrows, and, the spells to represent other types of arrows/abilities
Fighter 3 / Bard 17 - Swift quiver + manouvers
Elderitch Knight archer

What do you guys think? I think the Warlock may be the best way to represent it but not really sure

Thanks for your input!

The delivering spells through arrows thing isn't possible, but you might consider eldritch knight 7/warlock 2 if you have good charisma and dexterity, you get to attack as a bonus action when you cast a cantrip, so if they all hit your damage is typically x1d10+xd6+5 where x is 3 at 9, 4 at 11 and 5 at 17.

It's more agreeing with the DM the spell casts look like Arrows thematically, it won't affect mechanics though.
