[QUOTE="Machiavelli, post: 3252791, member: 40964"] In [url]http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=183646[/url] I asked for information to help me build a fun to play archer to start at 5th level. I did things somewhat backward, deciding upon a fighter 2/ rogue 3 with a crossbow before rolling my stats. The advantage of such a build would be that Dexterity would be the only vital stat, and Constitution would have to (as always) be at least okay. The rest could be dumped without any major problems. Then I rolled 11, 13, 13, 14, 15, 16 using 4d6 drop lowest, no rerolls, and rearrange at will. That's a 37 point stat array! So, I'm wondering if there are any good uses for my non-Dexterity stats that will not detract from my archery prowess. Here's an outline of the character's levels, as I first envisioned it: [CODE]Human Fighter 2/ Rogue 3 Lvl Class BAB Abilities Feats 1 Fighter +1 [FB]Precise Shot Point Blank Shot, WF: Light Crossbow 2 Rogue +1 SA +1d6, Trapfinding 3 Rogue +2 Evasion Crossbow Sniper 4 Fighter +3 [FB]Deadeye Shot 5 Rogue +4 SA +2d6, Trap sense +1 [/CODE] I was thinking perhaps a Cleric of Solonor Thelandira, so I could get those two free feats from the two domains Elf and War, as well as access to True Strike once per day, with just a single level. That spellcasting would make quite a good use of a Wisdom score, yes? But the flavor just isn't right. How the heck would one explain that this roguish warrior is actually also a cleric of a god that doesn't even match his race? I'd really like the flavor of arcane spellcasting to enhance archery. It would put a good Charisma to work. Oh, I know! I could work toward Arcane Archer if it wasn't such a worthless class with the added insult of a crappy prerequisite race! :\ I've been blessed with good dice this time, and I just want to make it count for something.
