3.x - RAW - TO - How Exactly Arcane Archer and Energy Transformation Field

[unseenmage]

IIRC an arcane Archer can drop Energy Transformation Fields at range.

But I dont remember how.

Runecaster should be able to as well right? By putting the rune on the arrow?

Specifics and source citing would be helpful.

Any other brutal spells to drop from far away are more than welcome.

The problem is Arcane Archer does not advance casting, so it will be quite late until you can use that.

You can, however, minimize the disadvantage by going e.g. Bard 8/AA 2/Sublime Chord X/whatever-that-advances-casting. Fractional BAB opens up additional options.

Imbue Arrow is really Arcane Archer's only real worth while ability and since it is acquired at second level you aren't loosing much with a dip in the PRC.

No change in spell level access doing that. You get 9ths at 19th. Compare to a Wizard-17/Arcane Archer-2 (in whatever level order) who also has 9ths at 19th.
