Class Features
Weapon Enhancement:
Basic:Through his unique combination of powerful arcane magics and marksmanship, the Elemental Archer is able to imbue his arrows with powerful elemental magics, making his arrows channels of elemental power. Arrows fired by the Elemental Archer deal an extra 1d6* energy damage on top of their regular physical damage. Activating this ability is a move action that provokes. Upon activation the player specifies an energy type: Fire, Cold, Lighting, Sonic or Acid. This ability lasts until canceled or changed.
Special:This ability does not stack with the Flaming, Frost, Thundering or Shock properties.
* The sonic energy type deals 1d6-1 extra damage
* The Acid energy type deal 1d4 dmg with an extra 2 acid damage dealt the following round
Seeking Shot: In his mastery of magic, the Elemental Archer learns to curve his shots around obstacles and other hindrances with ease. Any arrow fired by the Elemental Archer is treated as if it had the Seeking quality.
Improved: As the Elemental archer becomes more powerful he learns to imbue more magical energy into every shot. His arrows now deal 2d10* extra elemental damage upon a critical hit in addition to the damage provided by Weapon Enhancement (Basic).
Special: This ability does not stack with the Flaming Burst, Frost Burst, or Shocking Burst properties.
* The sonic energy type deals 2d10-2 extra damage and deafens, Fort DC 16
* The Acid energy type deal 2d8 dmg with an extra 2 acid damage dealt the following two rounds
Mastery: The Elemental Archer has now reached a point of skill where he can balance multiple elemental surges in one projectile. He can now apply two elements to one arrow using his Weapon Enhancement ability. Also, his Weapon Enhancement ability now stacks with all other elemental magics; Weapon Enhancement now stacks with Flaming, Frost, Shock, Thundering ,Flaming Burst, Frost Burst, and Shocking Burst.
Bow Mastery
Provocation Due to both his training as an arcane spellcaster an archer, the Elemental Archer has mastered a technique of quick shots and active defense while shooting. The elemental Archer no longer provokes attacks of opportunity from firing a bow in melee combat.
Critical Due to his intense practice with his weapon, the Elemental Archer becomes able to provide accuracy and deadly efficiency like never before. The critical threat range of his bow is doubled. This ability functions for no one else, and stacks with the Keen Enchantment.
* This ability does not stack with the Improved Critical feat.
Haste As the final merger of his technical skill with his weapon and his magical nature, the Elemental Archer is able to speed up his attacks while using a bow beyond standard capabilities. While using the full attack action with a bow that he has weapon focus with, the Elemental Archer gets an extra attack per round at his highest base attack bonus, as if he were under the effect of the Haste spell.
* This effect does not stack with the Haste spell.
Elemental Shot
Ray The famous expression of the Elemental Archer is the ability to transform mundane arrows into beams of pure elemental energy. Using a full attack action that provokes attacks of opportunity, the Elemental Archer creates a beam of elemental energy that fires as a ranged touch attack. The blast of elemental energy deals his Elemental Archer Levels+ any arcane Spellcaster lvls in d8 to a maximum of 15d8. So Teriek, a level 4 sorcerer/level 2 Fighter/level 4 Elemental Archer would deal 8d8 energy damage.
Line Through manipulation of the final stages of the attack, the Elemental Archer's Elemental Shot can now be fired as a line of elemental energy, 5ft wide and 60ft long. Using Elemental Shot as a line allows a Reflex save with a of DC 10 + a character's Elemental Archer Lvl+Cha for half damage.
Burst Through manipulation of the final stages of the attack, the Elemental Archer's Elemental Shot can now be fired as a burst of elemental energy, in a 20ft globe, centered around the point of the arrow's impact. Using Elemental Shot as a burst allows a Reflex save with a of DC 10 + a character's Elemental Archer Lvl+Cha for half damage.
