Master Archer (4e Epic Destiny)

Master Archer

No enemy is safe, no target concealed, against your prowess, all your arrows will taste blood.

Prerequisite: 21st level, Ranger, Archer fighting style

Rangers are renown for their ability to deal large amounts of damage to singular targets. Some might scoff at those who stand back and attack at range, perceiving them as nothing as cowards, but they cannot comprehend how wrong they are. Against you, enemies flee for cover as your arrows run through them in a sickening fashion. This is nothing new for you, the art of the archer has always seemed natural for you, a way of life. Pulling the bowstring second nature. The joy you feel when your arrows take flight is indescribable, and you plan to take it further. As the greatest archer of your time your keen eye detects enemies hidden or concealed, confident that they won't be hit. Your arrows fly with a supernatural accuracy, slamming into foes at distances too large for anyone. Marksmen from all over the world and even the planes come to challenge you, hoping to take the title Master Archer, and one by one they admit defeat and can't help but marvel at your superiority.

Immortality

As you continue as the master archer, your skills grow beyond what is humanly possible, you find yourself bored and go beyond the mortal realms in search of an equal.

Archer Embodied: Once your final quest is completed your skills have become unrivaled, no mortal is better than you with a bow. Feeling your life dull without a challenge you set out to other worlds in search of an equal. As you travel the planes time and time again you feel frustration at the lack of skill your challenges possess. You travel to the bright world of the Feywild and find that Eladrin can only balk at your skill. In the gloom of the Shadowfell Dark Ones and other beasts of shadow cannot match your accuracy. The elemental chaos offers no challenge as Efreets, Giants, and Archons of all kinds fall to your arrows. Eventually you make it to the Astral Sea as a god who notices you allows you to join his ranks, and finally you battle beings of immense power and feel the thrill of a challenge again.
