[QUOTE="Lamoni, post: 1135538, member: 12680"] I was trying to plan an archer for my next PC. I want to use a dwarf fighter and then be a dwarven defender after 10th level or so. My question was, what feats should I take? The archery feats are: Far Shot, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Many Shot, Precise Shot, Imporved Precise Shot. The other feats I wanted are: Weapon Focus, Improved Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization and Greater Weapon Specialization. The required feats for Dwarven Defender Prestige Class are: Dodge, Endurance, and Toughness. I was considering giving up Many Shot because if I used the defensive stance, I would seldom need to make non-full round attacks. Greater Weapon Specialization might also be ruled out because I would prefer to move to the prestige class before level 12. Are there any other ideas of what feats I should give up? Or any feats I should add? This is just an exercise on how to build the most powerful archer in combat. It is too complex if you consider non combat where a Ranger would excel or role-playing. Am I wrong to try to move to the Dwarven defender prestige class? Should I stay straight fighter? The biggest weakness I saw with the dwarven defender was that you often need to move to attack things. Specializing in archery would remove this weakness, but at the same time it requires 3 feats that probably aren't the most useful for my character build. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
