[QUOTE="Rolzup, post: 1255621, member: 10105"] Looking for a bit of advice here.... I'm in a 3.0 game right now, playing a Rogue/Fighter who's focused on being the "Face Man". Maxed out Bluff, Diplomacy, and suchlike, to the point of having a +16 Bluff at 6th level. Fun character to play, and somewhat effective even though he's an abject coward; he's been able to talk the party out of a few fights. But. Much though I'm enjoying this, it's sorta forcing the rest of the party to conform to this character's style...which interferes with the righteous kicking of ass on occassion. So I'd like to make an effort to make this character a little more combat-worthy, so that he's not stuck in the back row shuffling his feet when the rest of the party wades into battle. So. Human Rogue 3/Fighter 2, just gained a level. Feats are Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Combat Expertise, and Improved Feint (the last taken from the 3.5 book, with DM permission). Strength is 10, Dex is 16. I'm thinking of taking another level of Rogue, and grabbing Weapon Focus: Light Crossbow as that level's feat. With that, and the DM letting me use Precise Shot (instead of Far Shot) as a prerequisite, I'm thinking of going with Deepwood Sniper for his 7th level class. But heck, I like to keep my options open. Are there any other prestige classes that specialize in the crossbow? I took a look at the "Crossbow Master" from _Masters of Arms_, but that didn't really inspire me much. Anyone have any other suggestions? Rolzup [/QUOTE]
