[QUOTE="Zipster, post: 6479466, member: 6687861"] Unfortunately, I do not have the PHB so I cannot quote everything in it's specifics; having looked through it as much as a non-owner can (there are 3 within the group, so I find little need in purchasing one ASAP), and seeing what the group currently has, I've decided to go the route of a Fighter/Ranger Current starting level is 7; so far, from how I envision things the character would be a sort of leader/commander of sorts. Stats have yet to be rolled. Human race for the bonus feat. Warrior 3 for Archery and Superiority Dice, with the choices going the intimidating strike, the one that gives a teammate an attack of opportunity/ability to reposition - haven't decided on the third just yet. Weapon of choice would be the crossbow, with the crossbow expert feat. Ranger 4 should give the giant-slayer ability (I believe that's what it's called) for the extra d8 on attack. I do believe that another level will give a bonus attack as well. I haven't decided on armor just yet, that'll likely depend on the stats. Again, without an actual PHB it's hard to do a full run-down of the character in mind, but my question is if this seems like a viable approach and if there is anything in particular I should consider a "must-have" or if there is a better route for this character idea. Thanks [/QUOTE]
