[QUOTE="ThomasBJJ, post: 250436, member: 993"] This is probably old news, but I was working on some character concepts and this Elven Ranger looks great. Yeah, yeah, kinda munchkin, but I wanted a combat effective character that the rest of the party could depend on in a fight. Here goes: Elven Ranger 1 - 32 point buy Str 11 (+0) Hit Points: 10 Dex 20 (+5) Con 10 (+0) Int 13 (+1) Wis 10 (+0) AC:18 (+5 dex; +3 Studded Leather) FEATS: Ambidexterity (free Ranger) Two Weapon Fighting (free Ranger) Weapon Finesse-Short Sword (1st Level) ATTACKS: 2 Short Swords +4/+4 to hit (+5 weapon Finesse; +1 BaB; -2 Two weapon fighting penalty) Long Bow +6 to hit (+5 Dex; +1 BaB) Skills: Hide (4 ranks; +5 dex) +9 Move Silently (4 Ranks; +5 dex) +9 Spot (4 Ranks; -1 Wis) +3 Listen (4 Ranks; -1 Wis) +3 Wilderness Lore (4 Ranks; -1 Wis) +3 Favored Enemy: Giants (works on Trolls & Ogres) CONCEPT: Everything is based on his High DEX. The Dex bonus works on his AC & 2 Melee Attacks & Ranged Attacks & Reflex Save & 2 Important skills. Double use from Weapon Finesse. 2nd Level: Fighter 1 FEAT: Expertise or Twin Sword Style (Better choice; from FRCS). To help with AC. AC 20 with Twin Sword Style. 3rd Level: Fighter 2 3rd level FEAT: Weapon Focus-Short Sword (Double use) Fighter FEAT: Expertise or Point Blank Shot 4th Level: Fighter 3 Ability Point (4th level character): Str or Dex Pick one, and stick with it for 8th level as well. Strength: +1 damage now (on both sword attacks); at 8th level you can qualify for Power Attack Dexterity: Nothing now, but at 8th a +1 all attacks & AC 5th Level: Fighter 4 FEAT: Weapon Specialization-Short Sword (Double use) or Rapid Shot (if you took Point Blank Shot) [/QUOTE]
