[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 124748, member: 1331"] I'm creating a 5th-level PC for a new campaign. I was planning to be a Ftr/Sor and work toward the Arcane Archer PrC, but for game setting reasons, the DM wants me to have at least one level in Monk. Arcane Archer requires BAB +6, Weapon Focus (any bow), Point Blank Shot, and Precise Shot. The character must also be an elf or half-elf, and have the ability to cast 1st-level arcane spells. Given the class restriction, my first impulse was to go Mnk3/Ftr1/Sor1. The sorcerer level gives me [i]True Strike[/i] and fulfills the PrC requirement. The fighter level gives me bow proficiency and an extra feat. That leaves three levels to go into Monk. However, splitting three ways will obviously prevent my character from excelling in any one area, so I thought I'd ask you all for some ideas. How would you make a PC specializing in ranged attacks, if you were required to take some monk levels? What would be different if you wanted to maximize "cool factor" instead of combat prowess? If it matters, the character's unmodified stat rolls are: 18, 16, 16, 12, 12, 10. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
