ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
To qualify to become an arcane archer, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.
Base Attack Bonus: +5
Feats: Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus (any bow)
Spells: Ability to cast 1st-level arcane spells.
Hit Die: d8
Class Skills (2 + Int modifier per level): Concentration, Craft, Hide, Knowledge (arcane), Listen, Move Silently, Profession, Ride, Search, Spellcraft, Spot and Survival.
CLASS FEATURES
All the following are class features of the arcane archer prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Arcane archers gain proficiency with light armor.
Spellcasting: At every even level you gain as an arcane archer, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other class feature a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming an arcane archer, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.
Imbue Arrow (Sp): An arcane archer gains the ability to place an area spell upon an arrow. When the arrow is fired, the spell’s area is centered on where the arrow lands, even if the spell could normally be centered only on the caster. This ability allows the archer to use the bow’s range rather than the spell’s range. It takes a standard action to cast the spell and fire the arrow. The arrow must be fired in the round the spell is cast, or the spell is wasted.
Seek Arrow (Sp): Starting at 2nd level, whenever an arrow would normally be lost or destroyed when fired in the normal fashion by an arcane archer using a bow, there is a 5% chance per class level that it survives intact. As a swift action that doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity, an arcane archer can sense the direction and distance of the nearest unattended arrow, on the same plane, befitting any bow she currently possesses. This ability does not account for terrain or obstacles, and does not function if the arcane archer does not have an appropriate and functional weapon in her possession.
Adapt Arrow (Sp): Upon reaching 3rd-level, an arcane archer can alter the magical properties of her ammunition. As a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, she can instantaneously change the magical abilities of one arrow she touches, provided her base attack bonus or caster level meets the minimum caster level required to craft the new arrow. The arrow's overall market price may not increase, its abilities must remain legal, and it must retain a minimum enhancement bonus of +1. For instance, she can change a +5 arrow into a +1 keen holy shock arrow. Temporary spells and effects laid upon such ammunition remain unaffected.
Martial Arcanist (Ex): At 5th level, you master the art of combining your militant and mystical training. From this point on, your caster level in a chosen arcane spellcasting class is equal to your base attack bonus (unless it would otherwise be higher). For example, a 7th-level fighter/1st-level wizard/6th-level arcane archer has a base attack bonus of +13 (and thus a caster level of 13th). You can apply this benefit to only one arcane class to which you have added spell casting levels by your advancement as an arcane archer.

Arrow Arcana (Ex): Upon reaching 6th-level, an arcane archer
may whisper the verbal components of the spells she casts (see PH 78 for the Listen skill). In addition she may cast any of the
following spells (as an arcane spell) as if she were using a runestaff
(except there is no daily use limit for each spell, and she's not
limited to those that appear on her class spell list), by expending a
prepared arcane
spell or arcane spell slot of the same level or higher.
