[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 5860222, member: 6674868"] Can you tell us specifically what you envision your character doing? When you say "Sniper", what do you have in mind? Ranged attacker moving across the battlefield within 30' of enemies, Picking off enemies from over 100' away while buried in foliage? When you say Long Range Crossbow, I don't know which weapon you are referring to. The [URL="http://dungeons.wikia.com/wiki/SRD:Light_Crossbow"]Light Crossbow[/URL] has a range of 80', the [URL="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Hand_Crossbow"]Hand Crossbow[/URL] has a range of 30' and the [URL="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Heavy_Crossbow"]Heavy Crossbow[/URL] has a range of 120'. However, none of these weapons are very efficient due to the reload times. I'd be inclined to dissuade you from that particular weapon, but if you're set on it, which one are you referring to so we can best advise? What books/material do you have access to when we consider suggestions? For example, Psionic Shot, Greater Psionic Shot and Fell Shot are all awesome ranged attack feats, but exist in Expanded Psionics Handbook. If you were looking for a non-gestalt sniper build that could use a crossbow, I'd suggest the [URL="http://dictummortuum.blogspot.com/2011/09/swift-hunters-handbook.html"]Swift Hunter[/URL] build. Choosing that as one side and lining up the other side with something that supports the build may be nifty. Another very different nifty Sniper is the Warlock. level 1 Eldritch Spear gives you a 250' range with no range penalty on your Eldritch Blasts. Load up the other side of the gestalt with something that will add to your damage. This will not, however, grant you any skill with a crossbow, you'll be blasting with raw arcane energy instead! This is just one of the many possible thinking-out-of-the-box builds that could be offered here if we know how open to tweaking your idea you might be. Do you know what the other 2 players are building so we may suggest a build that may be complimentary to your allies? [/QUOTE]
