Archery Domain
The Archery Domain turns the bow, long-range precision and supernatural shot-making into sacred combat. The version preserved here is third-party D&D 3.x material from Relics & Rituals: Olympus, not an official SRD, Pathfinder or modern D&D domain.

How the Archery Domain Plays
This domain rewards a cleric who fights from range instead of standing behind the bow user. Its spells extend range, improve accuracy, add damage and eventually let touch magic travel through arrows.
Who Grants the Archery Domain?
Apollo and Artemis are strong candidates where archery is genuinely part of their established portfolios. A deity should not gain the domain merely because one famous story includes a bow.
What Are Archery Priests Doing Now?
Archery priests are training temple bowmen, guarding sacred hunting grounds, recovering legendary arrows, judging contests and confronting enemies who have learned to turn ranged weapons against their own users.
