Arcane Archery [Fighter]
The elven archer whispered arcane syllables as she drew back her bow, and her arrow glowed with the orange of hot coals as wisps of arcane energy drifted from its tip. She lined up her shot with a keen, practiced eye, then fired into the crowd of orcs marching on the trail below. The cry of pain originating from the poor orc whose shoulder the arrow impaled was quickly drowned out by a loud boom and several more screams as bits of orc and gouts of flame erupted from the detonated arrow. She smiled a grim smile and drew her bow once more; There was more work to be done.Prerequisites: BAB +6, Spellcraft 4 ranks, Weapon Focus (Longbow or Shortbow), Point Blank Shot, Combat Casting, Steel And Spell StyleBenefit: When using Arcane Channeling with a longbow or shortbow, you may elect to attach an area of effect spell (Such as Fireball, Fog Cloud or Darkness) onto the arrow rather than a touch spell; The spell uses the arrow's range rather than the spell's range, thus you can attach spells that normally have a range of "You". This does not function with Improved Arcane Channeling; Thus you can only imbue one arrow at a time like this. However, if you successfully hit a target with the arrow, and the spell attached allows a Reflex save for half damage, the target struck with the arrow is allowed no save, since the blast is more or less originating from the sharp object that just embedded itself somewhere in their flesh and if they drop to the floor/duck behind something/etc., the arrow is going to move with them.
Special: A Fighter may select this feat as one of her Fighter bonus feats.
