Spelunking archers just seems a contradiction in terms to me. I don't think it should be a standard choice.

Why no high-elf animists?

Wiki says they can and I'm pretty sure I have rolled one up before, but I could be misremembering...

I think I misremembered that.

Dark-elves can be marshdwellers too.

Dark-Elves of the Forgotten Realms Genre were originally Jungle Elves.

There was a great war and they were driven underground inorder to survive.

hunter strikes me also as much of a frame of mind than JUST archery. The idea of a dark-elf sneaking about the underdark, watching prey for the specific moment to strike seems fitting to their mindset over a beastmaster w/ empathy towards other animals.

In your same note, humans or felar can all choose to be spelunking archers if they like. I assume archery and related skills are impossible to use underwater, why not do the same for archery?

Admittedly, I've not played ANY ranger in years, so that "downgrade" doesn't really bother me, but it seems relatively logical regarding the spelunking archers and all.

F.R. Delfs that is.

I would think of Drow patrollers except they are the ones bringing back food for Teth, ie cave beasts/lizards/fishers. A good edge may be that they are able to track/shoot at their last target using a heightened sense of hearing, or sight, when it's dark or they are blind. Something similar to that being able to navigate caves while blind thing. Meh..

It was surprisingly good against mobs and god awful bad against players.

Write a good role/desc and send it to Rayihn, silly. Maybe you missed that thread?
