This build was built at the same time as Correllon's Spear. I couldn't decide whether Bard/Blackguard/AA or AA/Paladin/Sorcerer was a stronger support archer. This build is the better support character, the addition of bard song, curse song and war cry allow this character to buff his party members better and the sneak attack is very useful in a party setting. However, this character is much weaker in a one on one setting. This build with its low HP can't take much punishment. It can manage a pretty high AC and with improved invisibility it can get 50% concealment, but 314 hit points won't help out much. This build also doesn't have any offensive spells, fortunately it is quite deadly with a bow.
Advantages
-Good AB with a bow. An AB of 45 is low for an arcane archer, but better than the average character. -Good damage with a bow. He has a 4D6 sneak attack, divine damage from divine might, arcane archer bonuses, bard song bonuses and war cry bonuses. -Level 16 bard song and curse song. Good for buffing himself and party members and hurting opponents. -Level 6 bard spells. He has a low spell DC so his spells aren't useful offensively, they are useful for defensive and buffing purposes. -Good saves vs. spells. He should make his saving throws against most spells.
Disadvantages
-Low Hitpoints. Improved Invisibility will help a bit, but not much. -Low Caster Level and spell DCs- He's not going to be able to use his spells offensively. -No evasion. He'll make his saving throws against reflex spells, but he's still going to take damage. -Mediocre Fortitude Save- It's pretty good against spells, but it's not good enough to deal with devastating critical -Low melee AB- He can produce a +5 keen weapon which, coupled with bard song, curse song and war cry, may be enough to help him in a low or no magic setting. But with his low HP he should avoid all melee combat.
