If you're a favored soul, archery is kinda secondary since you'll be more or less unstoppable to begin with.

Yeah, but since they were balanced so nicely they can still get good enough AB whilst skimping on Dex and getting EDM :P
"From the realms below we ride,
And in terror they run and hide,
From the shadows of old we rise,
Awakened, from the dark!

Over the ancient ruins we fly,
Where the old kings go to die,
And the new kingdoms rising high,
Awakened, from the dark, dark slumber!"

So on a scale of progression, how many levels of what is necessary and how much of an LA is too much?

The only requirement for this would be Ranger 6 to bypass the minimum dex score for the archery feats.

ECL is a tradeoff. For example, you could make an Erinyes (as an example of something usually associated with archery) and, counting the 6 racial levels, gain a +4 to Str and Dex (and Con) in return for a +3 ECL. In this case, you'd be able to only have to spend 1 ability bonus on Str to qualify for EDM (assuming you started with 18 Str and gained the two additional from the racial PrC), whereas with a human starting at 16 Str, you'd need to spend 5 to get there.

So if you went Tomekk's route, you'd be looking at Ranger 6/Cleric 1/Erinyes 6/Favored Soul 14 (which means no 9th-level spells).

Or you could go Monadic Deva, because that PrC has FS caster advancement. Between race and racial PrC you'd get +7 to Str and +2 to Cha, So with starting scores of 14 and 18 respectively you'd only spend 1 of your ability score points to qualify for EDM.

So Ranger 8/Cleric 1/Favored Soul 8/Monadic 10 would give you 9th-level spells, as well as the Swift Tracker feat (to use survival while running).

We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.

Neat, I'll scratch my head over how to do the progression of levels and feats later. I'm tired and it's late which doesn't necessarily make for good rationale.
