There's an Archer class in my sig if you want to check that out. It's currently being used in the Goblins! (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78787) game. After the game I'll try to polish it up some more.

i hate to see people's stuff go uncritiqued.

you have some decent ideas. but you need to flesh them out more. first of all, you need flavor text. i realize that you seem to be asking for help with the flavor, but you need to at least give us a direction. right now, all we have is archer. that shoots elementalish arrows. period. give us the picture you had in your head when you created it. a class should be built around flavor, with mechanics to back it up, not built around mechanics with flavor to back it up.

next, formatting. make it look good. go to the homebrewers' guide that is stickied to the top of the forum. follow some of those concepts. included in that would be appearance: dress it up. make it neat. but it would also include text. you kind of have to get familiar with technical writing. make the mechanical text complete and descriptive, so there are no loose ends. tell us whether unlimited arrows is a conuration effect or something else, if it is Su or Sp, or anything else.

next, one of the problems with archer builds is their lack of power and versatility. as of now, this class does not address those issues, though i certainly have a less-than-perfect perspective. think about what the class should be able to do, in relation to what other classes of similar level and requirement can do.

good luck. aaron out.

Your saving throws seem a bit high. +13 reflex over 12 levels?

The death arrow is a nice edition, since seemingly it is the kind of ability an elemental archer would have, 50% chance of death? I'd say 25%.

And you list ele. arrow multiple times. Do we load all levels into one ability for the most damage, or is it one ability per time ele. arrow is listed?
