Notes
- Requires Shadows of Undrentide.
- Some documentation states that the ability to cast level 1 spells is required to be an arcane archer, but that is incorrect. Only a single level of any arcane class is needed. For example, bards don't get level 1 spells until their second level, but only one bard level is needed to become an arcane archer. The same applies to wizards with 10 or lower intelligence and to sorcerers with 10 or lower charisma.
