Mage/Archer:
<ul>* 100 Archery
* 100 Tactics
* 85 Healing
* 80 Anatomy
* 100 Magery
* 85 Evaluating Intelligence
* 75 Meditation
* 75 Resist [/list]
85 str / 60 int / 80 dex
Pro's:<ul>- Enough Healing and Magery to keep yourself healed well at all times.
- High enough Eval. Int. and Magery to do very significant damage to monsters.
- Plenty of Resist to reduce damage from magical monsters.
- Enough Meditation to restore mana passively while equipped with bow.[/list]
Con's:<ul>- Cannot resurrect with bandages, but on the upside Magery can doing the rezing.
- 85 Eval. Int. doesn't give you the FULL damage a pure Mage can do, but its still a fair amount.
- Less Meditation then the average pure Mage, but with the added punch of Archery for combat, you probably won't notice.
- Less Dexterity than the average Archer, but since you'll be wearing leather to maximize meditation rate, dexterity will stay at around 80. (Note: you can temporarily raise your dex to 91 with Magery).
- The lack of any Wrestling skill may prove to be a slight annoyance. However, since you're an Archer you shouldn't be letting a monster hit you all the time anyways, this is not much of an issue. (If you're around alot of fast moving monsters, just keep your bow equipped a little more.)[/list]

Light Warrior/Archer:
<ul>* 100 Archery
* 100 seconday combat skill
* 100 Tactics
* 100 Healing
* 100 Anatomy
* 100 Resist
* 100 Magery[/list]
100 str / 25 int / 100 dex
Pro's:<ul>- Ability to melee a monster, which can save on arrows for the easier monsters.
- Very high healing and anatomy to NEVER fail and possibly heal 80 hit points with one bandage.
- Very high resist to barely see a scratch from those pesky liches.
- For the extra 100 skill points, I suggest GM Magery (I would have suggested 50 anyway...). If you or a friend are in need of some quick healing, you can heal 50 hit points per Greater Heal spell. Also, if you go on Treasure hunts you can unlock level 2 treasure chests with GM Magery. Its just all around useful. [/list]
Con's:<ul>- Lacks the ability to Gate without scrolls.
- No major problems.[/list]
