[QUOTE="Green1, post: 6702974, member: 6800543"] Instead of overly homebrewing, try Monk 5/ Fighter 5 first level as Fighter for the HP. House rule that because of your order, bows are a monk weapon if the DM is down just for flavor. Of course, I am probably overlooking stuff but: With Fighter 5, you get Fighting Style : Archery with a +2 bonus to attack rolls which gives you a lot versus other ranged attackers. You get a small heal with Second Wind. You get an EXTRA action like another series of attacks after each short or long rest. You go with Champion martial archetype just for simplicity and 19-20 crit fishing. For Monk 5, you get the awesome (if you have the stats) unarmored defense (WIS mod to AC as well as DEX), Martial Arts package which means you don't need STR as much, can go hand to hand in severe cases, and can go all musketeer and use a bonus action to smack someone near with an unarmed strike to finish someone off your arrows didn't if you have movement to walk up to them which, with monk movement probably do. Actually - Flurry of Blows, make that 2 AND perhaps a stun with Stunning Blow. Imagine that with Action Surge! You can deflect incoming arrows back, so are resistant to ranged wars. And, you can get out in a HURRY while scouting with Step of the Wind. IF they even see you, because you are a NINJA! Way of shadow monk you get darkness, pass w/o trace, and silence for pesky casters ready to roll! If you want to get really experimental, a level or so of that Mystic Unearthed Arcana article at WotC may seem cool. Psionics and monk stuff have had a history together. [/QUOTE]
