[QUOTE="krunchyfrogg, post: 7609253, member: 10107"] I’m playing an elf arcane trickster (monoclass so far) who is level 3 with the following stats (standard array): 8/17/14/14/12/10. Now, I can rearrange these if I wanted, but I think this is pretty optimal. The character is played as an archer who uses an owl familiar to pretty much always gain advantage on attacks with the familiar granting the help action and my elf sniping with his longbow. Next level I get my first ASI. I’m tempted to grab sharpshooter, but I’m afraid of the -5 to hit (even though I’m often gaining advantage, which should nullify that). Also, I’m not sure if that -5 is worth the risk of losing the 2d6 sneak attack dice with the possible payoff of +10 damage. I think a better option is just pumping my DEX (+1 hit/damage/initiative/most of my skills). Now, with a DEX of 17, As well as all even stats, I’m better off getting a feat that adds +1 to DEX and later bumping my DEX from 18 to 20. The question is, which feat is worth it? I could go elven accuracy, which would later really help with that sharpshooter feat that I could grab down the road. Is there a better choice? Edit: if there isn’t really a decent +1 DEX feat, I could start with a 16 DEX and 15 CON, and I’ll just add resilient CON at some point. This won’t happen for a while, but it is good. [/QUOTE]
