playing a eldritch Scion magus maybe, and was allowed to get ranged spell strike at the same time. what bloodline actually could turn out good for a ranged character?
The only first level bloodline powers from ACG that would help an archer are Fey or Aberrant, since they don't have the line requiring it be a melee attack.
Some of the higher level powers could be useful, but most of the first line powers either give you a melee attack (such as claws) or restrict the effect to melee attacks.
Arcane bloodline would be useful for all the powers except at 1st, 12th and 20th level. Being able to spider climb can be extremely useful for an archer.
Celestial and Air Elemental give you flight while raging.
Overall I would say either Fey or Arcane have the advantage.
I have a bloodrager/arcane archer...and unused arcane. The buffs activated in raging really give you some flexibility in different situations
I think i'm going to up this to general build advice, to see what options are available (i do not have much experience with gishes, either full casters or full martials seems to be what i've done before.)
7th level - I want to use deadly dealer with that magus arcana, and thus also have the ranged spell strike, however i'm primarily an eldritch scion and don't get diminished spell casting. thinking i'm going to be a kitsune.
what items and spells would favor this, I want some damage options but would also like some emanations I could cast on cards and want to be at least partly crowd control.
Would arcane pool be enough to keep the cards up to snuff, or should finding a way to gain a Permanent Deck that I could enhance be more useful?
shameless bump :/
