I'm also considering using a great crossbow with the quick reloading enchantment on it. that coupled with rapid reload would make reloading it a free action. on top of that heavy crossbows deal more damage.i looked at cragtop archer. they are really good. i would probably only take the first 2 levels maybe 3. but that would make my character a much better sniper.thanks for all the help.edit: started tweaking my build. here it islevel 1: human ranger, feat: exotic weapon proficiency great crossbow and bonus feat: jotunbrudlevel 2: take fighter and feat: rapid reloadlevel 3: feat: far shot and feat: point blank shotlevel 4: +1 dexlevel 5: take deepwood sniperlevel 6: feat: rapid shotlevel 8: +1 dex level 9: feat: precise shotlevel 12: +1 dex, feat: crossbow sniperlevel 15: feat: improved precise shotlevel 16: +1 dex and take cragtop archer level 17: continue taking fighter and feat: weapon focus crossbowlevel 18: feat: weapon specialization crossbowlevel 19: feat weapon mastery ranged piercinglevel 20: +1 dexso i was wondering if i should move anything around. i was thinking about taking cragtop archer a little sooner but i wasn't sure. what do you think?</blockquote>
