[QUOTE="ConcreteBuddha, post: 506196, member: 3139"] I like Rangers with a two handed weapon, and using armor spikes as my off hand attack. Then again, maybe I'm just a twink... ;) . . . . Seriously, though. I dig these feats: Extra Favored Enemy Iron Will (The best feat ever) Improved and Greater TWF PBS (Rapid Shot, Precise Shot) Item: Any weapon of Hunting (from MotW) Skills: (No brainer) Spot Listen Wilderness Lore Hide Move Silently Spells (The only spells you'll ever need): Entangle Briar Web Hunter's Mercy . . . . And if you are looking for the best Ranger PrC out there, go with the Shadow Scout from OA. Want every favored enemy under the sun? Here ya go... . . . . . With your stats, I'd arrange them: 16 Str 16 Dex 15 Con 13 Wis 14 Int 12 Chr The reason why I put a 14 in Int and a 13 in Wis is because skill points aren't retroactive, and Rangers need lots of these. At level 4 increase Constitution, and at level 8 increase Wisdom. (A 14 Wisdom is the highest you'll really need. If you want to max out spellcasting, play a Druid.) With a Wild Elf, (which is a really good choice), you'd get an 18 Dex and a 12 Int. Throw in a Mithral Chain Shirt and you are set. And if you are set on having a shield, then just use a one handed weapon, armor spikes, and a shield. Don't even bother with shield expert. You get TWF [B] and [/B] the shield AC. You can have your cake and eat it and all of that jazz... ;) [/QUOTE]
