Ever want to play a spell-using, kick-ass archer right from 1st level??
Introducing the mystic archer, one more of the 12 new and expanded Pathfinder Roleplaying Game classes in the recently released hardcover edition of the New Paths Compendium.
Dedicated to mastery of the bow, a mystic archer seamlessly blends the damage-dealing potential of arcane magic with the deadly skills of an archer, using spells to enhance her natural abilities.
Check out the rest of the mystic archer class preview HERE including one of my FAVORITE pieces of art from the book (it's really cool!)
Be sure to also check out our previews of the:
White Necromancer
Skin-Changer

Had a request to show a bit more about the Mystic Archer ...
Here is one of the class features:
Archer’s Trick: At 5th level, and every four levels thereafter, the mystic archer can select one of the tricks listed below. Once she makes a selection, it cannot be changed.
Close Combat Shot
Dispelling Arrow
Disarming Arrow
Marksman’s Resolve
Painful Shot
Repelling Arrow
Stealthy Sniper
Although we can't give full details for all of those here, we can give details on one of them:
Marksman’s Resolve (Ex): When making a ranged attack with your bow, you may reroll an attack roll, a critical hit confirmation roll, or a miss chance check as an immediate action. You can use this ability twice per day at 5th level, plus one additional time per day for every four levels beyond 5th.
Also, here's a funny little moment that occurred during one of the later playtests for the class. At the end of the playtest session, one of the players (who was not playing the Mystic Archer) came up to me and said "You know, I normally hate archer characters and pretty much never play one ... but I have to say, I would play that class in an actual game!"
That kind of made my day and, I think, rather nicely sums up the Mystic Archer :)
