This will increase the variety of wands you can afford. The market would contain partially used wands. Note: While wands are originally made with 50 spell uses on them, you don’t have to buy them that way.

Those divination spells are not listed below. However, I am suggesting that they are the first ones that he should learn outside of the divination spells that he must learn once per level from level 2 to 6 from wizard advancement. Primary Prepared and Wand/Scroll Spells – The following spells are not all of the spells that this optimized pathfinder arcane archer build can learn. Note: Skill point don’t reflect any increase that may come from magic item increases to Intelligence.

School of Specialization: Divination (Foresight) Stat Advancement: Place your stat increases in the following order: Dex, Dex, Int, Int, Int as you advance from 1st to 20th level.įavorite Class (Wizard) – Take the extra hit point for all five wizard levels Third, they get access to riding companions much easier.īuild: Elven Fighter 1/Wizard5/Eldritch Knight 3/Arcane Archer 3/Eldritch Knight 2 Second, other spells and class abilities they get access to increase bow accuracy and damage. Why? Well, first because of the Divine Favor spell which works great with the Fate’s Favored trait. Throughout 13 levels (the number of levels the Optibuild Primary Divine Caster Archers PDF is based on), and beyond, Primary Divine Caster Archers cast at a higher level and shoot the bow with more accuracy and damage. Ironically, things have not changed for Arcane Caster Archers, but definitely for Primary Divine Caster Archers. However, how times have changed for caster archers.
Your almost a full caster and still can shot a bow pretty well. When I originally posted this build in 2012, it was the thing.
Update: I guess this update to this Arcane Archer build is long overdue.
