I know, I know, I know I just made one but I was thinking of making a healer thats got a full BAB and is awsome at shotting arrows and can maybe heal his people with the arrows...... How? Can it be done? I honestly have no clue were to begin...
So I come to you...

By the books, there is no way. I'd suggest playing a paladin (if you really want that full BAB) and asking your DM to come up with some Healing Arrow spells.
Yeah thats what I was thinking I mean what the heck its a great idea heal from saftey and back up from saftey I mean what the heck! Out of all the classes and PrC there should be one that fits to what I would like sooo anyone up to the challange to make a new class I will help I am just at work right now with no boooks so.... What you guys say????

Hey Tequila,
I was thinking of something for Haun that would work. . .maybe. . .I was thinking of a bow with spell storing..he could cast healing spells into it and when he wanted to heal a compainion he could shot a premade blunt arrow from afar. Do you think that would work???
Thanks,
Xiloscient
Another possible option is to play an Archer Cleric, and take the feat that lets you cast healing spells at a range of up to 30 feet. (Sorry, for the life of me I can't think of the name of the feat, or even what book it is in). That sounds like it would give you the flavour you want, if not exactly the mechanics.
I'm sure if you asked your DM he would probably let you flavour the ranged healing as shooting an arrow at them if you wanted.
That sounds good mevers, (maybe when you get a book name or what not I will jump for freaking joy) I was thinking about something like that and maybe starting as a fighter what do you think mevers?
I know that it's not exactly what you're looking for, however, if you were to take 3 levels of an arcane casting class so that you could cast 2nd level spells, then you could cast spectral hand which allows you to use the hand to deliver touch spells up to 4th level which would cover all of your cure spells, and it has medium range, I'm not sure if it is on any spell lists other than wizard/sorceror though. But, it would definitely qualify for healing at range, as for doing it with a bow, you could check out arcane archer, and possibly doing a variant of that, although I don't think it gets full spell progression.
What jumped to mind for me what modifying the warlock (Complete Arcane) to do a "healing" or positive-energy blast, instead of an eldritch blast. Perhaps by making the healing portion drawn from a pool, such as a paladin's lay on hands ability, you could serve as a divine-esque warlock. Just a thought...

Isn't there something like that in the Complete Mage book, I know that there is a PrC for a "good" warlock, but I can't remember exactly what it does as I don't own the book.

Probably. I really oughta give that book a fair crack one of these days. It always struck me as "Complete Arcane, Part 2," though.
Yeah, I know what you mean, plus I haven't had a chance to get to play all of the ideas that the first complete arcane gave me for characters, if they keep adding options I'm NEVER going to get to play all the characters I want..... oh and I think the class was called like Enlightened Spirit or something like that, can't remember, I think my brain must be rotting in its canopic jar....
Awsome I was thinking human fighter 2 and then the cleric levels thats all I could come up with right now... When I get my books I will get back to you on the warlock idea but it sounds good.

I know I'll probably be crusified for even mentioning it, but in the Masters of the Wild book (OMG 3.0!!!), there is the Arrow of Cure Light Wounds.
Works exactly as it sounds: +1 magical arrow... shoot someone, they heal 1D8+1. And they come in moderate, serious, and critical variants as well.
I'd recommend a cleric archer who uses said arrows. Full BAB, good armor and weapons, and double the healing! ^ ^

There is one other option that comes at 3rd level. Use your familiar. It's not limited to 4th level spells either.
I don't think it would be unbalancing to have a Divine Familiar feat, but I'd make them buy it as opposed to giving it for free.
Gestalt advancement might be the way to go. If you don't want to do gestalt or your DM won't allow it than I can work up a PrC and some special equipment for you. Let me know if you want me to do that. The 'good Warlock' PrC from the Complete Mage is called an Enlightened Spirit.

I would love to see what you can come up with!
that would be awsome
Arctaris's You ever make that class?
I once had the same idea and appart the healing arrows of masters of the wild (by the way I still own that book) the only other way of doing so was the Arcane Archer prestige class of the DMG.
An elven fighter/bard/arcane archer could technically imbue arrows with cure spells. There were two reasons why I did not play that character.
- 1st, the ability to imbue arrows with cure spells was only available at around 11th level (way to far for my own taste).
- 2nd, since neither fighter or bard is the favored class of an elf, you would incur XP penalties for multiclassing (by the way, I think that this particular rule is an non-necessary leftover of the previous editions).
Also, if you really want to play a cleric/archer, you could consider playing a cleric of ??Vladinia?? Gilmadreth, a goddess which appears in the elven patheon in the Masters of the Wild book. Her favoured weapon is the bow and she grant's access to the War domain. But you would still have to solve the ranged healing dilemna.
Hope this can guide to the perfect solution...
Hey I been following this thread because I have been trying to figure the archer healing thing and my GM said if I could come up with a possible way he would allow it. Do wanted to know if you guys ever found a way. I figured my elf rogue from kyonin uses alchemical archery so could a arrow be created that could hit a hurt character and heal them something like the raining arrow just instead of holy waterit had healing potipn or oil in it. Wondering if something like that would work????
Hmmmm, with a rogue I'd have really no clue. To make a cleric work in this manner requires two feats (Reach Spell (Complete Divine) and Zen Archery (Complete Warrior) which allows you to use Wisdom modifier to ranged touch attacks that deliver the spells. I'd also use Divine Metamagic to fuel your Reach Cure X Wounds spells. There are also a few spells in the Spell Compendium that heal at a range.
As for the rogue using this method, I think the best way is using the Bow and finding some non-lethal arrows that deliver the potion or healing agent to a recipent.
