Whether you’re using it to ignore the Volley trait or gain a +2 circumstance to damage on non-volley weapons, you really can’t go wrong. Point Blank Shot 4: This is a great stance for ranged attacking, and you’re already investing in the “be good at ranged attacking” archetype.It’s not bad so long as you’re using a Reload 0 weapon, but otherwise I’d avoid gumming up your action economy by trying to Interact to Reload and then Press. Assisting Shot 4: The first of many feats this archetype borrows from the Fighter class, Assisting Shot is a Press Strike that gives someone else a circumstance bonus to attack the creature.These only affect critical hits, but it’s still extra nice if you’re one of the martials that don’t even get these effects, like Investigators or Thaumaturges. This feat bypasses any special requirements and simply gives the special critical effect for all attacks made with bows. Most classes which get these specialization effects have to fulfill specific conditions: Rangers only get them when attacking their hunted prey and Barbarians only get them while raging, for example. This is fine, but there’s more to this feat: as soon as your bow proficiency is expert or higher, you also gain the critical specialization effect for all bows. Archer Dedication 2: As discussed above, the dedication feat grants training in all simple and martial bows that scales whenever a feature improves any of your weapon proficiencies to expert or greater.Blue: Fantastic options, often essential.Red: Bad, useless options, or options whichĪre extremely situational.RPGBOT uses the color coding scheme which has become common among Pathfinder build handbooks. You might wonder why not Monks too, but the Monastic Archer Stance that allows Monks to consider bows in the first place already bumps their proficiency. Rogues, on the other hand, benefit more directly, being one of two martial classes to not have martial weapon proficiency. For Fighters, all you have to do is choose a different weapon group at 5th level and you get Bows upgraded for free. This might seem strong, but across all the martial classes this proficiency bump only meaningfully affects Fighters and Rogues. Just for signing up, you become trained in all simple and martial Bows and then that Proficiency scales whenever any features improve your weapon proficiencies. If you want to make Bows or Crossbows your primary combat style, have a look at Archer to improve your combat. For the Archer this means being well versed in the Bow weapon group and stealing more or less all of the Fighter feats related to ranged combat.
