[4e Paragon Path] - I can shoot an arrow faster than you can speak a syllable
Fusillade of One
“One more step, and you’re a porcupine. Twice.”
Prerequisites: Ranger, Archer Fighting Style, Dex 19
You have ridiculous reflexes. Your bow fires arrows impossibly fast, and enemies stare in disbelief as arrows stream out of your unassuming weapon seemingly constantly. Your foes’ bodies are flooded with deluges of arrows, and you frequently shoot them half-a-dozen times before their lifeless corpse hits the ground, for good measure. You can change targets on a dime, and the mechanical firing of your deadly projectiles seemingly mows enemies down across the battlefield. You live by the motto of shoot first, shoot some more, continue shooting until everyone is dead and then ask questions, often to the chagrin of your less battle-eager allies. As long as arrows are humming through the air and enemies are collapsing with punctured tracheas, you are at peace.
No matter the number, it is irrelevant - if you can shoot them, you can kill them. If you can’t shoot them, you find a way. Then you kill them.
Fusillade of One Class Features:
Fusillade’s Action (Level 11): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you can make a ranged basic attack with a bow as a free action before taking your action.
Volley Shot (Level 11): When you score a critical hit with a bow, you can make a ranged basic attack against the target as a free action.
Switch Targets (level 16): When you reduce an enemy that is your Hunter’s Quarry to 0 hit points or fewer, you can make a ranged basic attack as a free action. If the attack hits, the target is marked as your Hunter’s Quarry. You still cannot have more than one Hunter’s Quarry at a time.

My first non-HoZ Paragon Path in a few months. I may be a little rusty. Tear it apart, Playgrounders.Last edited by Shadow_Elf; 2009-05-29 at 11:43 PM.

Re: [4e Paragon Path] - I can shoot an arrow faster than you can speak a syllable
I love it. I am a big fan of making multiple attacks. I've already made some recommendations to you about this, the only other one I can think of now is that Volley Shot should be limited to one free attack per round.
It's obviously very powerful if you can stack more static damage bonuses onto the attacks, but that's usually true of Rangers in general. Nicely done paragon path, now get back to work on HoZ.
Edit: Actually, Switch Targets should also be limited to one free attack per round.Last edited by Alteran; 2009-05-29 at 11:50 PM.

I love the wording on "volley of death"

Re: [4e Paragon Path] - I can shoot an arrow faster than you can speak a syllable
Yeah, as it is, Switch Targets can be used to clear an average of 19 minions per turn (only because a natural 1 is a miss), within the range of your weapon. And if you're using a Greatbow with Distant Shot... I agree that you should limit it. Maybe 1 per round, or up to Wis mod or something?
Also, I don't quite see the point of Shots in the Dark being an encounter power. Most campaigns don't involve complete darkness or invisible creatures every encounter. Perhaps a Daily, with increased potency for the effect? Maybe sustain minor, or for a number of rounds equal to Wis mod? Okay, I'm not sure how balanced that would be, actually...

It could still easily clear 2-4 minions in a round, and still attack a non-minion.

See Mando's comment. He's right - you don't auto-hit minions. And if your DM is using 19 Minions in 1 encounter, something is wrong.

Re: [4e Paragon Path] - I can shoot an arrow faster than you can speak a syllable
Technically, this is an at-will to. In addition to the at-wills you already have.
Well, what can I say? Shots in the Dark gives you two rounds of Blindsense each encounter - the one you activated in on, and until the end of your next turn. Handy, but if you really need Blindsense, will just two rounds be enough? It's a nice counter to blindness until you save, but it really wouldn't help if you're stuck in a cavern without light.
Volleys of Death is worded oddly. "..hit with a ranged attack while using a bow..." perhaps? It still allows a Ranger/Warlock to Eldrich Blast someone as the counter - although I don't find that a bad thing, personally.

I loved this class. One of the few things I felt a touch of originality.
