How do you Eldritch Archer

[Shotagonist]

Supposedly they can deliver touch spells with ranged attacks (such as with a bow) - how do you actually do that? Turning on Spellstrike doesnt really *do* anything.

I watched it but when I cast these spells it doesnt seem different from what a Sorc/Wiz does.

You cant use melee touch spell, with ranged spell strike. They need to be spells that have some range, to begin with.

A work around, is the meta magic feat, but that requires some levels to work.

Are you using ranged touch spells or melee touch spells?
They can only deliver the former

I've tried it with both and I don't really see anything different from normal spell casting.

Dont you get a free bow attack, with the spell, when using it this way?

They work as advertised. If you use a spell that has a ranged touch component they deliver it on top of the ranged weapon projectile. If you "tried" it but didn't see it, open your eyes some more.

I suppose I should have looked closer because its ranged "touch" attacks. Things like Magic Missle aren't touch spells apparently. Sorry guys <.<

You have to be level 2 and activate the mode.
And I will not encourage you to do so as it is A LOT harder to hit the spell with the bow rather than simple cast (touch AC versus overbuffed AC).
