Fighting style Archery, shortbow as your weapon. For weapon masteries shortbow, some melee weapon(s) with finesse, and (maybe) longbow.At level 3 for classes you can pick battlemaster, or also rune rune knight depending on how ok you are at that point with complexity.<h2>Older edition</h2>If you mean D&D general, my fsvorite beginner character still is from 4th edition D&D the elementalist sorcerer. Because many beginners want to play spellcasters and this one is simple.You can choose your element, you can choose an area spell and get 1 single target spell and are an efficient non squishy caster, which can empower their spells limited number of time.</blockquote>
