[QUOTE="Nareau, post: 41806, member: 969"] [b]Loads of good ideas to sort through...[/b] Thanks guys. I didn't know that the bonus human feat was limited so. I plan on playing a pretty poor commoner (think Oliver Twist meets the hero of Princess Mononoke). So hopefully this won't be an issue. The more I think about it, the more I want to go the Point Blank/Rapid Shot chain. I figure that I'll stand a pretty good chance at getting 2 sneak attacks in on the first round of combat (+4 to init from Dex means I'll often win initiative. If I have my bow ready, I can do a full attack action and pick off two shots (each one doing 1d8 + 1 + 1d6, with +3 to hit)) That'll make me useful for the rest of combat as well. Thanks for the info on DD and taking 20. That makes sense (that it can't be done). I might hold off on putting any ranks in it for a while. If we come across traps, we'll just have to break out our trust 10' poles. That's a really good point about the will saves. I'd forgotten about nasty low-level spells like Sleep. I might just swap the Wis (8) for the Con (10). It'll suck to have so few HP's, but if I manage to stay out of melee, hopefully it won't be too much of an issue. I don't think I'm going to boost my Int. I've got so many skill points as it is, 4 more just won't be worth the cost to me. As for just going for a 16 or 17 Dex...I guess that would be the smart thing to do. I just think that the +1 to hit (ranged) and +1 AC is really hard to pass up (not to mention all the skills that are based on Dex...) Gah. I'll have to wring my hands some over that one. AFAIK, there aren't any OA races that get a bonus to Dex. [/QUOTE]
