[edit] Description

The Arrow of Evil is one part of a triplett build I call"the good, the bad & the ugly". The main goal behind these builds was to enhance the terrible will saves in other ranged builds. My first idea was to use the wisdom based zen archery to get good will saves, but all archery feats are DEX based so it didn't worked without using the Ranger. So I had to find other ways to raise the will saves.

The evil version is maybe the best allrounder of the 3. It combindes a nice damage output due to the divine might and still has a lot of skills due to the bard class.It also has the best AC when buffed and dressed.

Advantages:

  • nice damage due to the divine might
  • Blackguards Sneak attack, Aura of despair
  • 3 maxed out skills
  • good saves and AC
  • playable from 1-30
  • no xp Malus

Disadvantages:

  • no epic divine might
  • low CON
  • no extend spell
  • no improved rapid shot
