Black Feather Archer

(Character Kit)

This is a character kit, not a prestige class. Characters can gain these bonuses without the trouble of leveling it up like a prestige class. As soon as a character qualifies for a bonus, they may begin training, and, after that time, they gain a rank in the kit, gaining the new bonus.

Black Feather Archers are a guild-like group of archers who master the use of the longbow, and learn how to use cover of the forest to benefit their amazing archery skills.
