[QUOTE="Knowledge Sinkhole, post: 3979430, member: 2287"] 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: [CODE] Level 1: Human: Point Blank Shot Level 1: Fighter: Weapon Focus: Longbow Level 1: Level: Precise Shot Level 2: Fighter: Far Shot Level 3: Level: Rapid Shot Level 4: Fighter: Weapon Specialization: Longbow Level 6: Fighter: Manyshot Level 6: Level: Improved Rapid Shot Level 8: Fighter: Improved Critical: Longbow Level 9: Level: Greater Weapon Focus: Longbow Level 10: Fighter: Sharpshooter?
