Eldritch Archer Archetype

You channel powerful magic with your archery, allowing you to deliver potent spells through the tip of an arrow rather than the more mundane flick of the wrist or whatever other gestures are usually used. If you don't already cast spells from spell slots, you learn to cast spontaneous spells and gain the Cast a Spell activity. You gain a spell repertoire with one cantrip of your choice, from a tradition of your choice. You choose a common cantrip or other cantrip to which you have access. This cantrip must require a spell attack roll and come from your chosen tradition. You're trained in spell attack modifier and spell DC. Your key spellcasting attribute for these spells is Charisma.

Regardless of whether you can already cast spells or gained the ability from this dedication, you gain the Eldritch Shot activity.

Eldritch Shot 3 Requirements You are wielding a bow or a loaded crossbow; Effect You Cast a Spell that takes 1 or 2 actions to cast and requires a spell attack roll. The effects of the spell do not occur immediately but are imbued into the bow you're wielding. Make a Strike with that bow. Your spell flies with the ammunition, using your attack roll result to determine the effects of both the Strike and the spell. This counts as two attacks for your multiple attack penalty, but you don't apply the penalty until after you've completed the Eldritch Shot. Combine the Strike and spell's damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses.
