Flavor-wise, I want the character to be a ranger and sniper. It has to be an elf, although a half-elf would make a much better ranger in Pathfinder  (why is that???), and every elf who doesn't go wizard seems to lose some of his potential -- now once, I don't play a wizard, and then this makes it an even more suboptimal choice <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Basically, the character is a member of an elite elven hunter/defender unit, guarding and protecting the homelands. I'd need good stealth and tracking for the character, and I'm looking forward to using some of the ranger spells. Of course, having more spellcasting would be even better.So which of these three builds makes the best archer. What would you people say:o Rangero Ranger / Scouto Ranger / RogueAlthough the scout would fit best flavor-wise, I'm still not sure I really appreciate the skirmishing mechanic. Always having to move does not seem a good deal, and somehow affects me flavor-wise -- suppose I want to hide in one place (as snipers tend to do). Having to choose between full-attack action with rapid shot and manyshot / greater manyshot will make me calculating damage a lot... well. I don't know if you see a ranger with a few levels of rogue as a suboptimal choice in Pathfinder, compared to a single class ranger or compared to a few scout levels. I'd really have a sneak-like effect to emphasize the sniper role. If there is a feat that can do that, even better.What do you think?</blockquote>
