[QUOTE="radferth, post: 412415, member: 5791"] I don't know how your DM runs, but I have heard archers tend to be way overpowered when the DM doesn't use maps or couters for the combat but just assumes someone with precise shot can shoot at whomever they want. When using figures or such, they end up having a shot roughly have the time. The main "problem" is that you are tracking usefulness by damage inflicted, and you are the designated damage sponge. Damage sponge is an important role, as without you the archer and spellcasters are much less effective. But if you are in this role, you might want to concentrate on defense. Get the best armor and shield that you can, get the spellcasters to help your defense to save on healing later. Your feat selection is fine, as the option of using the shield for offense or defense gives you many options, but expertise will be invaluble if you have the 13 int. If you don't like being the meat shield, you need to work that out with the rest of the party, as everyone else sounds like they depend on having you there. [/QUOTE]
