Message: <blockquote data-quote="Malachei" data-source="post: 5229938" data-attributes="member: 38657">I am creating an elf archer build to enter a running campaign at 8th level. We're playing a mix of 3.X and Pathfinder. Skills are PF, many Feats, as well (as is the feat progression), as well as most classes.The character is an elven archer, protecting the elven homelands as an elite sniper and scout. I am considering two builds for the archer:(a) Swift Hunter (Ranger / Scout)(b) Ranger plus X (more Spellcasting without losing archer ability?)The <a href="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19872750/The_Swift_Hunters_Handbook_--_2007" target="_blank">Swift Hunters Handbook</a> offers a lot of information. I'm not sure how these complement with Pathfinder Ranger, especially with regards to feats that depends on movement or full-round attacks (Pathfinder's Deadly Aim, Vital Strike, Manyshot, Rapid Shot with the Scout's abilities and requirements).I like a lot the Scout brings to the build, but I don't like about the Scout (flavor-wise) is that you have to move all the time. Can you please offer your advice on how to create the build? What would your Archer build look like? Are there any issues combining the Pathfinder Ranger with the Scout in the Swift Hunter concept?Is the Ranger/Scout build (using skirmish and greater manyshot) superior to full-round attacks? Is there a better combo for a Ranger archer build? Is there a combination with better spellcasting, even, that I have missed?Thanks for your ideas!</blockquote>
