This is a little something my brain farted out last night.

See rogue class feature


Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex)
See rogue class feature

This is a little bit of option for ranged rogues. This one can do good with mostly just Dex. Dex does hitting, damage and AC for you. So what do you think is it balanced?

[Athaniar]

I don't know if the class is good or not, but the name needs improvement. Also, based on Haley?

[Baron Corm]

Looks pretty darn good to me. It's just overloaded with the miscellaneous rogue class features, though. I would get rid of Trap Sense and Uncanny Dodge. If you're focusing on the bow, and getting such great bonuses to it, you should have to give up something. Also I would move Masterful Firing to level 10 to keep people interested in taking all 10 levels, not sure why you put it at 9.

[Frog Dragon]

Yeah I might remove trap sense. Well I had a bit of haley imagery rolling around, but I made it mostly for my friends character who plays an archer rogue. But I'll not edit now. must sleep. Tomorrow night maybe because I'm gone most for the day to DM a game.
