Archery?

[mistergutsy78]

So I was trying to build a Archery Spec'd ranger and so far I have to say archery feels pathetically underpowered. I don't know if I'm just doing something wrong or if it's just because I'm still in act 1. I there any advice you guys can give me or should I just try something else?

No, it isn't you. Non-magic ranged combat is weak in NWN2. You need 8 or 9 ranks of Arcane Archer to make it work. Here's a good ranger guide that talks quite a bit about playing a ranger as archer: http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/922154-neverwinter-nights-2/faqs/58074

It's a 3.5 ruleset. rangers are garbage if you want an archer fighters outpreform them in every way sans tracking and stealth skills. Arcane archer is ok but it's honestly just a weaker wizard with some more fluff. There are some mods floating around that add more of the 3.5 prestige classes and base classes in I would suggest seeing if those have the options of scout and order of the bow initiate if they do get the mods and theres your proper archer build.
