I'm currently building a shadow human scout for an Expedition to Castle Ravenloft campaign. For some reason, to help 'balance' my selecting the shadow creature template, I don't gain the normal human bonus feat, but made that up with my one flaw.
The rest of the party, to my knowledge, is a Sorcerer and a Cleric. I'm more of a stealth/trapmonkey scout focusing on staying out of heavy melee combat, more of a ranged/secondary melee char, as my AC and HP aren't that great for an ECL 5, I selected my armor more for flavor than for the total bonus.
We're using weapon groups instead of normal proficiencies. The question is this: What would be the best weapon groups for my scout to select? The DM has decided that Scouts get basic + any three weapon groups, and I'm figuring that bows and light blades are probably going to be good choices.
Also, with 362gp, what would you get for this kind of character? I already have most of my weapons, I might get one more weapon, depending on my third weapon group, and a decent amount of miscellaneous gear, rope, grappling hooks, everburning torches, mwk thieve's tools, etc.
Books for gear are: Arms and Equipment Guide, PHB/PHB2, DMG, Complete Adv/Arc/Div/Mage/War, Diablo 2: Diablerie supplement, Savage Species, the Monster Manuals, and possibly other books as well, depending on what I can get the DM to okay.
