what about archetypes? what are they called?

does the stargazer just get proficiency in star knives? or does it get so special abilities with them as well?

back cover of the elemental master's handbook had a ad for the antiheroes handbook. intrigue by this sentence, "find the perfect anti-heroic background for your character, Breathe life into a fallen paladin or ex cleric, or learn how a antihero might fall into a more reputable organization."

do you think we'll be getting special rules to play a paladin that has fallen? (not anti paladin) or are they going to release a neutral or chaotic alternate class/archetype of it?

i can't wait until the 31st to get my Pdf of the book, a dueling sword swashbuckler sounds amazing, that and i've heard that this archetype is pretty decent.

Not much. You drop the ability to use bucklers for dueling sword proficiency and gain a couple feats that you need to spend panache to us. At 11th you get a flurry like ability, and a few levels later you get...the Thug Rogue's level one ability.

ooooohhhh... a aldori dueling sword swashbuckler...been waiting for something like that for awhile.

now i heard that's there's a new style line for dueling swords, what do they do? are they any good?

well if your willing to use 3.5/Eberron material, you could use the "deathless" they're basically intelligent undead of heros/good souls/ etc that decided to stay for various virtuous reasons.

The Point Blank Master feat allows rangers, slayers and fighters to use only a bow which saves on money, feats etc. Full BAB is important for many archery feats too, as are bonus feats, especially those which allow you access to feats earlier than you would otherwise get them.

Rapid fire is more important than a single big shot. By quite a margin IME. The only time you might use the latter is with a very high-magic build focused on named bullet - which still won't be as good at archery as a fighter but which will likely have more breadth.

Is your only metric for power the average damage delivered, or do you count the ability to bypass anti-archery measures as power? Are there any limits on book sources (e.g. core books/any paizo/3rd party allowed)? At what character level are you making the comparison?

well i would like a balance between damage and breaking through my foes defenses, book we are allowed are all paizo books. no 3pp/pisonic/path of war stuff

also probably stating at lv3.

Hi Everyone. as above, what's the most powerful bow archer build? i heard that fighters and rangers make the best. but what archetypes/feats/traits/spells make them amazing? should i focus more on a volley of arrows? or magic infused Arrows?

the Courser swashbuckler (blood of the beast) is made 100% around spring attack, add in the whole spring heeled style chain (which i not 100% if it would work or not) and you might got something very flashy. not to mention you can walk on walls at lv3!
