Knowledge Sinkhole
First Post
My DM has just announced a new campaign with characters starting at 10th level. I played an archer back during 3.0 that I was rather fond of, so I've decided to tread those waters now for the first time in 3.5. I am, however, unaware of a lot of the material out there that might fit for such a character. My DM has most of the books, so if there's a prestige class/feat/etc that would particularly apt, please let me know so I can look it up.
As it is, I've decided to go straight fighter. I looked through Complete Warrior, and though I like some of the feats, the only archer prestige class (Order of the Bow Initiate) seemed pretty lackluster. Here's my build as it stands now:
------------------------------------
Attribute distribution (from highest to lowest)
Dex, Str, Con, Int, Wis, Cha.
I've got an 18 to stick into Dex, and I plan on increasing it at both 4th and 8th level. Hence, at 10th level, I'll have a dex of 20.
Race: Human.
Feat picks:
And, after play begins:
Equipment:
Skills: I'm a fighter, so.. mostly irrelevant?
------
So, there you have it. Pretty vanilla. I'd really appreciate any PrC/Feat suggestions anyone might have. I'm not looking to be a munchkin, but some additional flavor would be nice.
