[QUOTE="krunchyfrogg, post: 7609682, member: 10107"] Well, I’ve been using a longbow so far. I really like the idea of getting the sharpshooter feat at some point, but I’m pretty sure when I hit level 4, I’m getting elven accuracy first. It boosts my DEX to 18 and with my owl familiars flyby/help ability, I’m going to be able to use elven accuracy a lot. Maybe I’ll nab sharpshooter at level 8. I am a little bummed that I’d only be regularly using half the features of the feat. Adding a fighter level does make the power attack from sharpshooter a little more viable. I had never really considered crossbow expert for this character, but it is a really powerful feat. It was a long time ago, but I had a fighter who concentrated on using that feat and he dealt out huge damage. Stacking that on top of a huge sneak attack could be devastating. Thank you for your help and input. ON EDIT: I cleaned up my language a little bit (I was distracted earlier). I don’t think grabbing a feat is a good move at level 8. I think my best move at that time is to improve my DEX to 20. As I am about to advance to level 10, I might be best off adding a fighter level at this point. The archery fighting style is really a great thing to have in preparation for the ASI I will get at rogue 10 (character level 11). I know fighter 2 and 3 are very attractive, but nothing is better than more sneak attack dice. Rogue 12 (character level 13) will be tricky. Do I spend that ASI on crossbow mastery and change the flavor of this character? Mathematically, I think an extra attack would probably be pretty darn good, especially since ranged rogues don’t use that bonus action as much as melee rogues do. It’ll be something to think about if I ever get that far. Heck, it might be a good time to add wizard levels here too. Bladesinger 2 would grant me a lot of bonuses, although I probably wouldn’t be as tempted to use this unless I were lucky enough to find a headband of intellect (natural INT is 14). [/QUOTE]
