Looking to Build a Trick Shot Archer - not sure of class


Advice


I Had the Though of making an Archer who well can deal Damage is more in tune to Disarm trip and Etch the foe's he Faces

I how ever am unsure of class or classes I should take

I know Archer Fighter get a "Trick shot" At 3rd level and every 4th level there after but I feel its lacking

Is there another class that can do such thing?


There are feats for that - ranged disarm, ranged trip, ace trip and relentless shot . Possibly more, I can't remember just now. Any full BAB class could make use of them, maybe a magus or a warpriest too.

Edit: IIRC dwarves can get feats around throwing axes or hammers to similar effect too.


One shouldn't forget about Gunslingers. Their deeds are mostly trick shots. If you don't like using a firearm, pick up the Bolt Ace archetype and you'll be using a crossbow.


Looks like you accidentally double posted. Below is my response to the duplicate post so that it can be deleted.

You could do a Magus with the Eldritch Archer archetype. Then you could mark your enemies via arcane mark or brand. Brand actually adds damage but you would need to take the trait two-world magic or the hex crafter archetype to get access to it.

Then depending on what sort of "tricks" you're looking to do there are feats like Ranged Disarm, Ranged Trip, and Weapon Trick that could fit your theme.


You are probably going to want a level of Toxophilite Ranger for Arrow Splitter...

Then, as if archery isn't feat intensive enough already, you will probably want Combat Expertise, Improved Called Shot, Greater Called Shot, Deadly Aim, Ranged Trip, Ace Trip, Point Blank Shot, Relentless Shot...

A class with Weapon Training will be helpful. I would use Vanilla Fighter, but there's a Warpriest and a Monk that get it, too. If Gunslinger's count as Weapon Training for Ace Trip, then they have a lot to offer for trick shots. Bolt Ace is pretty awesome.

An Orc HornBow or Bolt Ace build focused on tripping could be effective. The Called Shot feats require Combat Expertise as a prerequisite, and so do the Trip feats.


Grenadier Alchemists shoot exploding arrows. They can different kinds of Alchemal weapons on their arrow to make everyone Dazzled, Deafened, or just splashed with Acid. Then they can also take Explosive Missile at Level 4 and a whole variety of different effects can be placed on Bombs placed on their arrows.
