Explore the Kinetic Sharpshooter archetype in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Learn about its unique abilities, level progression, proficiencies, charged ammunition, infusions, and kinetic quiver.

The Kinetic Sharpshooter archetype requires the Dance of Masks DLC.

A Kinetic Sharpshooter is able to deliver kinetic blasts using a bow. They can create a "quiver" to hold infusion charges but cannot use Gather Power.

Kinetic Sharpshooter Proficiencies: Proficient with light and heavy crossbows, shortbows, and longbows.

Charged Ammunition: A Kinetic Sharpshooter can deliver a blast using a ranged weapon. Attack and damage bonuses are those of the ranged weapon, not the blast itself. Weapon Focus (Heavy Crossbow) will add +1 to the attack roll, but Weapon Focus (Kinetic Blast) will not. The same applies to threat range using the Improved Critical feat. Energy blasts still target touch AC. You can only deliver one blast per turn in this way. If you don't use your kinetic blast, you will make normal ranged attacks instead.

Infusion (Kinetic Sharpshooter): From 3rd level, a Kinetic Sharpshooter can add an Infusion to her blasts. A number of infusions are exclusive to the Sharpshooter: Exploding Arrows, Rending Arrows, Honed Infusion, Chain Arrows. However, the Sharpshooter cannot use Extended Range, Kinetic Blade, Eruption, Blade Whirlwind, Deadly Earth, or Fragmentation.

Kinetic Quiver: From 3rd level, you can accept 1 Burn to create a quiver with a number of charges equal to your class level. You can use these charges to add infusions to your blasts.
