    [​IMG] I have already finished BG2 once as a paladin but I didn't realy use the ranged weapons much. This time through the game I am probably going to be an archer and I was wondering if anyone had sugestions on what bows or X-bows I should use. :help:

    [​IMG] I suggest using a heavy crossbow and bolts +1 only (for a weapon). and no gauntlets of dextarity or archery.

    You should probably stick with one type of ranged weapon - put 5* in either long, short, or cross bow.

    Personally I would go with long bow, but it's a matter of opinion.

    Long Bows:
    Elven Court Bow (found in D'Arnise keep)
    Heartseeker bow (Firkraag's dungeon)


    Other items to get:
    Bracers of Archery - Troll mound in Druid grove, gives +2 to THAC0 on ranged weapons but becomes less useful later as archers have awesome THAC0 anyway. Replace them with...

    Bracers of Blinding Strike - Underdark, these cast Improved Haste once per day which will increase your number of attacks to 8 or 9 or so.
