[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6310356, member: 413"] RE, I can't speak for the OP but to me it seems you are answering a question that is not being asked. Is it feasible for an elven rogue to be a decent archer? Not uber archer sniper extraordinaire...decent. yes is the answer. He wont be as good an archer as he could be as a fighter. But he will be decent. He will still tend to outclass the non-fighters when spells arent involved and can do all the rogue sorts of things wonderfully well. If the player in question wants to be like Legolas in the last hobbit movie then you are correct. Play a fighter. But how is this for survivability? Last night our assassin triggered an encounter with 12 wights. She faced attacks from 4 of them before she could act and came away relatively unscathed because of evasion. It was fun watching her decide when to us it. Once safely away she killed on wight every round. The next encounter was with a water elemental. It never attacked her because of cunning action. Instead it very nearly killed the barbarian and the monk on 2 consecutive critical hits. The monk went from 22 to 0 on a hit for 32 damage. The rogue would have been able to use evasion to shake it off. All night she and the barbarian were competing on damage done and kills. Sometimes she even opted to use her bow and did quite well. She had tons of fun all evening...which is the point isnt it? To me, the question is "can you have fun playing an elf rogue as an archer?" I think you can. I know...dpr and all that... [/QUOTE]
