Can't play arcane archer in MotB?

I played arcane archer in NWN several times so I thought it would be easy in MotB. But I can't get into it! Here are what I did:

moon elf
6 levels of fighter
1 level of bard

feat selected "point blank shot", " weapon focus: longbow".

I went over it twice but still the same, can move to arcane archer?

Do you have a base attack bonus of +6?
Also, its been ages since I played a bard - can you cast first level spells or just cantrips with one level of bard?
Lastly do you have the required charisma to be able to cast first level bard spells?

problem solved

I solved that problem, it was due to the fact I only used charisma=8. But another problem arose. the mechant in town only sell arrows one by one. Is there any way to buy the whole 99 arrows at a time?

I used cheat to get the arrows. It works but also gives yellow bands on the ground?

Yellow Bands on the ground are a sign that DebugMode is on. When you finish, toggle it back off with DebugMode 0 (zero). Seriously. In truth, they are activators (While it is on, it also shows traps (as red marks) even if your currently controlled char can't detect a trap to save his/her life). They won't always activate, but usually they will.

And arrows are supposed to be sold in bundles of 99 (you should get a pop-up with a slider, default is 99). If this isn't happening, then something is definitely wrong. are your patches up to date (1.23)?

no arrows

Yellow Bands on the ground are a sign that DebugMode is on. When you finish, toggle it back off with DebugMode 0 (zero).

Oh. I thought that enter (~) would get out of the debug mode. But I restarted the computer and it also works.

I just played a few weeks. and yes, the patch version is 1.23. So I don't know what has happened since this also occurs to my other characters. Maybe the last patch has bug?

That's because the game will automatically exit the DebugMode when you quit it.

buying ranged ammunitions!

This seems very strange because ALL the ranged ammunitions ( arrows, bolts and suriken ) are sold only one a time. It appears to me that the game IS like that.
