[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5726375, member: 35909"] Well, since you necro'd it...I gotta disagree with Dandu. Skill points are nice, but I'd rather do Int 14 and put Dex at 14, Str at 12. So it becomes 16/10 after racial. It's gonna be many levels of eating that -1 damage before soulbow adds wis to damage, I'd rather just not have the penalty those levels. With Dex at 16 starting, you can hold off on Zen Archery for a while to grab other critical archery feats at low levels. Even once you pump wis higher and take Zen Archery, the dex is still useful for AC, init, reflex, etc.. For your feat progression... Precise Shot held off to level 6 is CRAZY. I guess if you're starting at 5 it's more manageable, though. Far Shot is a bad feat, don't take it. Even if you want more distance, use Kensai or Soulbow to apply Distance property instead of the feat: the feat adds +50% range for projectile weapons, Distance adds +100%. Your feats list is sorely lacking Improved Precise Shot, this needs to be rectified. :) I would also consider mixing in some of the Kensai levels between the Soulbow ones if it will help you to meet qualifications for a bonus feat. Try this instead? Feats: 1: Point Blank Shot 2: Rapid Shot 3: Precise Shot, Endurance 4: Weapon Focus: Mind Blade 6: Yondalla's Sense, Zen Archery (Soulbow) 8: Woodland Archer (Soulbow) 9: Improved Critical: Mind Arrow 10: Psionic Shot (Soulbow) 12: Greater Psionic Shot, Improved Precise Shot (Soulbow) 15: Parrying Shield 18: Improved Initiative Parrying Shield is from Lords of Madness, adds your shield AC to touch AC. 15 and 18 are just kinda filler anyway, do whatever you want with them.
