[QUOTE="tribeof1, post: 156467, member: 3322"] What area is the campaign to be set in? This might help to nail down your character's background, because you could look at nearby regions. Aside from that, and working from your archer idea, at one point I was going to run a mounted archer from one of the Uthgardt barbarian tribes (detailed in the North area.) I can't remember if he was a Rgr/Brb or Rgr/Ftr, but the backstory was that he was a part of a recon party that was slaughtered by a group of orcs (his favored enemy). Just before death he was rescued by an elf rogue (another PC) that was traveling from Waterdeep to Neverwinter. The new FRCS provides a list of different tribes and their patron deity aspects (they all follow variations of Uthgardt.) Off the top of my head, other areas that would make sense for an archer would include the Dalelands, Cormyr, the East (for a more Mongolian approach) or any of the elven nations. Any of the elven deities would be appropriate if you wanted to try an archer cleric type. A Dalelands archer would tend more towards the hunter/woodsman type, while a Cormyrian archer could easily be an army sniper type--since you will be 10th level, he could even be a part of the royal guard, or with a few levels of rogue and Guild Thief, you could have an assassin type. If you have access to PrCs from Masters of the wild, an elf from the Grey Hills or Cormanthor would make an excellant Deepwood Sniper. Hope that helps! tribeof1 [/QUOTE]
