[QUOTE="Erekose, post: 137338, member: 610"] Sorry . . . can't resist posting this . . . A ranger based on the "archer ranger" concept. Alignment: Any. Hit Die: as PHB. Class Skills: as PHB. Skill Points at 1st Level: (4 + Int modifier) x 4 Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 4 + Int modifier Weapon and Armour Proficiency: A ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light armour, medium armour, and shields. Archery Feats: At 1st level, the ranger gets a bonus archery feat. The ranger also gains an additional archery feat at 4th level and for every 4 ranger levels after 4th (8th, 12th, 16th and 20th). These bonus feats must be drawn from the following list: Close Combat Shot, Far Shot, Mounted Archery, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, Sharp-Shooting, Shot on the Run, Zen Archery. Some of the archery feats available to a ranger cannot be acquired until the ranger has gained one or more prerequisite feats. A ranger must meet all prerequisites including ability score and base attack bonus minimums. NEW FEAT: Close Combat Shot [General] You are skilled at using ranged attacks in melee combat. Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +8, Dex 13+, Dodge, Mobility, Point Blank Shot, Shot on the Run. Benefit: You can attack with a ranged weapon in a threatened area and not provoke an attack of opportunity. Normal: Attacking with a ranged weapon in melee combat provokes an attack of opportunity.) Track: At 1st level a ranger gains Track as a bonus feat. Favoured Enemy: as PHB. Skill Focus: At 6th level a ranger gains the Skill Focus feat in Wilderness Lore as a bonus feat. Improved Track: At 10th level a ranger becomes able to track characters even if they use magical means to obscure their passage (such as the Pass without Trace spell, etc.). Rain of Arrows: In lieu of her regular attacks, once per day a 14th level ranger can fire an arrow at each and every target within range, to a maximum of one target for every two ranger level she has earned. Each attack uses the ranger’s primary attack bonus, and each enemy may only be targeted by a single arrow. This is an extraordinary ability. Banked Shot: This extraordinary ability allows an 18th level ranger to fire an arrow at a target within 20 feet of a wall (but not adjacent to the wall) and treat the target as if flat-footed for purposes of AC and damage inflicted. This is a full-round action. Table: The Ranger BAB/FORT SAVE/REF SAVE/WILL SAVE - AS PHB. Level Special 1 Bonus archery feat, Track feat, 1st favoured enemy 2 3 4 Bonus archery feat 5 2nd favoured enemy 6 Skill Focus feat (Wilderness Lore) 7 8 Bonus archery feat 9 10 Improved track, 3rd favoured enemy 11 12 Bonus archery feat 13 14 Rain of arrows 15 4th favoured enemy 16 Bonus archery feat 17 18 Banked shot 19 20 Bonus archery feat, 5th favoured enemy [/QUOTE]
