the Flight Hex, etc, and doesn't have to be built around. Hexcrafter can easily be 'tacked on' to anything else just for e.g. This really depends on the type of character you're going for. (Anyway, some archetypes which 'modify' the same features actually work just fine together) Some good attack range spells are: Lvl0: Ray of frost, acid splash, disrupt undead Lvl 1 snowball, Lvl 2: scorching ray (& the variants) Acid arrow (good for high SR) Lvl3 Battering blast (if you use arcana to add wiz spells to your list) ray of exhaustion, hasteĪrchives of Nethys doesn't list Spellstrike as a modified ability and it doesn't say 'this modifies Spellstrike' anywhere which is the rules criterion they use to determine whether archetypes are compatible or not, so it should be good. The reach metamagic feat will need to be used to turn touch curse spells like bestow curse into short ranged attack spells.

Curse spells available to the hex-crafter are either touch or save spells. Intensify metamagic is great for spells like snowball.Īnother issue for the combination: Eldritch archer ranged spell strike only works with ranged attack spells. Point blank master is good one for 10th level, but it requires weapon focus and weapon specialization. While the archer build must have PBS & precise shot. For hexcrafter the following types of feat are nice: Spell focus & Greater spell focus necromancy, persistent spell metamagic, extra hex.

If the GM is fine, a warning about this combination: range builds are feat intensive, and save or suck casters are feat intensive. Have you check with your GM on this ? It could be argued the both of these archetypes alter spell strike, and are not compatible.
