[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 4162802, member: 4936"] Arr! Good deal then. I think I've settled on a ranger/scout...I like the Scout abilities, but I need that Track feat...and Wild Empathy and Favored Enemy: Orc just seem quite elfy to me. :) I haven't done a LOT of crunch yet, but the stats look to be: Str 10 Dex 16 Con 12 Int 12 Wis 14 Cha 12 After racial adjustments to Dex and Con. This gives a pretty strong +4 to hit with ranged weapons. With Point Blank Shot for a feat, that means +5 within close range, and if I can swing a masterwork bow in lieu of a horse (^_^), that's +6. Not too shabby for a 2nd level character. :) And of course with shooting and scooting for that skirmish bonus, I can get +1d6 damage. In areas where there's cover/concealment, I can even shoot, hide, shoot, hide...getting skirmish and benefits of hiding (if I beat opposed rolls, of course). Just working out my preferred tactics here... She'll be pretty hopeless in melee until 3rd level, when I can get Weapon Finesse...followed up with Precise Shot at 6...if we go that far...which I hope we can. It also seems to me that my elf must be young...by elf standards. I'd hate to be centuries old, but only be 2nd level. :) That would also help explain her willingness to associate in a cooperative manner with the humans and dwarves, since she hasn't had personal experience with their ugliness. Plus, it helps me see why she's pulled this duty, being of lower "rank," if not low-regarded...perhaps her elders see this as a potentially valuable learning experience for her. Let her see for herself what resides in the hearts of men! Moohoohahaha! [/QUOTE]
