Archer

Of history’s most persistent necessities, none has colored the art of death more strikingly than the ability to kill from afar. While this innovative concept came in many forms, no method was as universal or as long-lasting as the bow. By the power of resistance and elasticity, a bow can carry projectiles great distances, leading to sweeping changes in the possibilities one might expect to meet his end.

All of the following are class features of the archer.

Archery Fighting Style

Because of your focus on ranged attacks, you gain Defensive Mobility as a bonus feat.

Hunter’s Quarry

Once per turn as a minor action, you can designate the nearest enemy to you that you can see as your quarry. Once per round, when you hit your quarry with an attack, the attack deals extra damage based on your level. If you can make multiple attacks in a round, you decide which attack to apply the extra damage to after all the attacks are rolled. The hunter’s quarry effect remains active until the end of the encounter, until the quarry is defeated, or until you designate a different target as your quarry. You can designate one enemy as your quarry at a time. From 1st to 10th level, this extra damage deals +1d6. From 11th to 20th level, this extra damage deals +2d6. From 21st to 30th level, this extra damage deals +3d6.

Called Shot

Once per encounter as a free action, you may get a +1 bonus to the next attack roll you make this turn against your quarry. Increase this bonus to +2 at level 11, and to +3 at level 21.
