[QUOTE="monboesen, post: 3230008, member: 4647"] And you should. IMO that class is way over the top and the worst transgressions are the draining shot and the dexterity bonus to damage. Anyway I dont see the need for a special class at all, you can accomplish you character with a combination of rogue and fighter levels. And that would be a lot easier for a new dm to cope with as well. The following build looks to include most of what you described. Namely decent sneak attack, many skillpoints, shooting feats, crippling shots, 1/2 dex bonus to damage, evasion and weapon specialisation. Level Class BAB Skillpoints Class abilities Feats 1 Rogue 1 +0 32 Sneak attack +1d6 Point blank shot 2 Fighter 1 +1 2 Weapon focus 3 Rogue 2 +2 8 Evasion Precise shot 4 Fighter 2 +3 2 Rapid reload 5 Rogue 3 +4 8 Sneak attack +2d6 6 Fighter 3 +5 2 Crossbow sniper 7 Rogue 4 +6 8 Uncanny dodge 8 Fighter 4 +7 2 Weapon specialist 9 Rogue 5 +7 8 Sneak attack +3d6 Deadeye shot 10 Rogue 6 +8 8 11 Rogue 7 +9 8 Sneak attack +4d6 12 Rogue 8 +10 8 Imp. unc. dodge Ranged weapon mastery 13 Rogue 9 +10 8 Sneak attack +5d6 14 Rogue 10 +11 8 Crippling strike 15 Rogue 11 +12 8 Sneak attack +6d6 ? 16 Rogue 12 +13 8 17 Rogue 13 +13 8 Sneak attack +7d6, Improved evasion 18 Rogue 14 +14 8 ? 19 Rogue 15 +15 8 Sneak attack +8d6 20 Rogue 16 +16 8 Special ability or feat [/QUOTE]
