I've been roleplaying online for the better part of the last decade and have recently found a local group playing D&D 3.5. I've grown quite comfortable with my character idea, and have had a hard time getting him to come alive on a character sheet, especially when it comes to planning on how to develop him later on.
Without boring you with my characters past he starts as a human fighter, with my plan to multi class him to a ranger either next round, or wait until I've had 2 levels of fighter to do it.
His abilities are:
STR: 11
DEX: 16
CON: 12
INT: 18
WIS: 14
CHA: 10
Obviously not ideal for a fighter, but it's based of the idea I have of the character, not optimizing him generally speaking. So these are my questions:
1.) When should I begin taking levels of ranger (and once I begin, I plan on continuing JUST taking levels of ranger)?
2.) Suggestions on skill... ?
3.) I was planning on taking Improved initiative, two weapon fighting, and two weapon defense to begin with, but persuing the archery tree once I've multiclassed to Ranger... What benefits would I gain from this vs. persuing bow skills as a fighter, and then learning two weapon fighting as a ranger.... ?
4.) Any suggestions on what feats I should persue from that point forward?
I do apologize for the newbie questions, but I'm excited to get my character concept up and running! Thanks in advance...
