There are several paths to become an arcane archer. Either the arcane archer was previously a fighter who acquired magical power or used to be a spellcaster who focused on physical combat. The path chosen to become an arcane archer will influence in the combat style, even though the new learned skills will be the same.

The arcane archer unites the spellcasting power with sharp-shooting bow skills, firing arrows with imbued magic and harvesting spells in his bow to increase spell range.
