Arcane Archer NWN
Arcane Archers are the most accurate hitters in the game. Incomparable snipers, they can pick out a target from long-range and hit it right between the eyes.
Arcane Archers mow down mobs in short order. Or blow them up with a feat that works like detonation arrows from Baldur's Gate.
Below: One of the few foes that'll give you trouble as an Arcane Archer. I shot about 50 arrows and the fight lasted about 4 minutes. Why? Custom demi-lich Alsigard sports epic 30/+20 soak. Plus, I soloed it. No Valen.
But how about the epic Grimgnaw fight so many people have trouble with? My archer didn't move from the spot and mowed them all down like they were nothing.
So yeah, don't listen to people who say archers are no good at high levels; they do their bit and don't need to heal much like meleers. They can kite and ignore many terrain obstacles, firing over rivers of lava and other obstructions.
