Help me help my party!

[Shazman]

My character just reached 9th level after finishing Hall of Harsh refelctions. We have a bunch of melee types in my party and one druid, plus my ninja/assassain. The last encounter was a tough one and stressed our need for some ranged support. What classess, feats, and PrC's should I consider to help in this area?

Well, that certainly depends a lot on how your character looks like so far.

Generally, Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot are ideal feats for ranged supporters, since you are firing into melee a lot.

There are a few PrC, which could work, like the Master Thrower, but that - again - highly depends on your character.

Shadowdancer's "HIde in Plain Sight" is great.

Yeah,more info on my character would help, so here it is. Human ninja 6/assassain 2 with enough exp to be 9th level, and haven't leveled yet. Feats are dodge, mobility, weapon finesse, martial study (steel wind). Abilities are str 12, dex 18, con 14, int 12, wis 14, cha 10. I'm considering fighter and warblade levels going into bloodstorm blade. Deadeye shot looks good later on.

If your DM uses them, take a look at the Team Benefits (in Heroes of Battle and PHBII, at least). There's one that lets teammates provide only a -2 cover bonus to the enemy instead of -4. It also reduces the "firing into melee" penalty to -2, but if you have Precise Shot it's not really relevant (though it does apply to other team members, so if your druid has any ray spells it would apply there as well).

 

[Shazman]

Any other suggestions? I would love to be pointed to options I may not have stumbled upon.
