You have mastered the art of fighting in melee while wielding a longbow.
Prerequisite: Dex 15, proficiency with longbow or composite longbow, Combat Reflexes, Improved Trip, Weapon Focus (composite longbow) or Weapon Focus (longbow).
Benefit: You may use your longbow or composite longbow to make trip attacks. If you trip an opponent while using Frontline Archer, you may immediately make a bonus melee attack against that opponent, using your longbow or composite longbow as a club of equal size as the longbow. This takes the place of any attack you may get for your Improved Trip feat. You may choose to forgo your bonus attack if you desire. A longbow or composite longbow used in this way is treated as magic for the purposes of overcoming DR if it is enchanted, but it otherwise grants no other weapon special abilities (such as flaming).
