There he'll have two first and two second level spells, a a combination of 5HD worth of companions and 3 favoured enemies.If he wants to stop sooner on ranger then its not going beyond 6th (for the second spell and favoured enemy, and an extra HD of companion).With 4 levels of Ranger already I would however focus on Rogue for now, getting Evasion, then Uncanny dodge and an extra dice of sneak attack. For the next three levels your getting +1 BAB per level anyway so Ranger isn't offering as much.Next level is 6th so he's getting a feat. So far he's got Exotic Weapon Proificency (bola), Point Blank Shot. I'd go for Rapid Shot myself, as a Ranger/Rogue you probably want to avoid melee ideally as you won't have the armour class or the hit points of single class fighter types. Maybe Improved Initiative (a generally overrated feat IMHO) it is useful for getting sneak attacks on flat-footed opponents.The other option is Dodge -> Mobility -> Spring Attack as this allows you to get into position to get sneak attacks more often than using a ranged weapon, unfortunately as a Ranger/Rogue it will take you a long time to get there.I'm confused by this...Medium Ranger 3 / Rogue 1 / (Male Half-Elf)Attacks: (1) Longsword +6 / Dagger +5 / Longbow +5 / Damage: Longsword 1D8+3 / Dagger 1D4+3 / Longbow 1D8+3 / Abilities: STR 17, DEX 14, CON 16, INT 13, WIS 14, CHA 6If he's using the longsword alone he should use it two handed for  +4 damage, and if he's using it with the dagger then the dagger is only +1 damage. He should make better use of two weapon fighting by getting a short sword instead of a dagger. If you don't use a shield or a two handed weapon then you should really use two weapon fighting nearly all the time its worth it.Also a Longbow does add strength bonus to damage so I assume he's shelled out the cash for a Mighty Composite Longbow. (I'ld spend the extra for +4, even though at the moment he can only add +3, as at 8th level I'ld boost Str by 1).</blockquote>
