A creature can only benefit from one Bolstering Aura at a time. Sacred Shots. Attacking a creature at long range does not impose disadvantage on the elf’s weapon attacks.

Whenever the elf makes an attack roll with advantage, it scores a critical hit on a roll of 19-20. Vestments of War. The elf can add its full Dexterity modifier to its ac. When it is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw and only half damage if it fails.

Champions of the Seldarine, anointed arcieri are the dedicated guardians of important elven temples, the settlements around them, and occasionally druid groves. When not acting as agents of their clergy, these masters of the longbow can most often be found leading teams of lesser elven archers to combat threats beyond their solo capabilities or training such bowmen and women so they might better defend both their kin and gods. Anointed Armaments. Some veteran arcieri have procured magical instruments of war to enhance their arsenals over the centuries of service, making them especially deadly. The GM can give an anointed aricieri +1 half plate, a +2 longbow, a +2 shortsword, eyes of the eagle, a mantle of spell resistance, and a +1 amulet of the devout that changes its Far Smite’s Recharge to 5-6. The Anointed Arcieri’s CR increases to 11 (7200 xp). |
