Ark the Pie King
First Post
As the title says, putting together some kind of archer. Starting at level 1 (ugh) and working my way from there, so whatever I stat up is gonna have to be decent at all levels making this a bit more difficult. I'm used to starting at higher levels which gets me out of some of the growing pains of playing weird builds.
So far I'm leaning towards Fighter into Arcane Archer. Then either at 4 or 6, hopping over to Rogue and going into Arcane Trickster for utility and sneak attack (plus it's just flavorful). So the final build would end up being Fighter 3/Rogue 17 or Fighter 5/Rogue 15. The real questions I have are of course, is this a good idea? It seems like the stats fit together really well, and it's sort of a natural marriage of the concepts. And if this is a viable idea, What should I start as? Rogue or Fighter? How should I split up the leveling? I feel like Fighter gets me better saves, and I want to hit Arcane Archer as quickly as possible anyway, but starting Rogue gets me Sneak Attack. If I do decided on Fighter 5, I imagine doing that asap is important to get the 2nd attack.
Thoughts? Ideas? Have I missed something? Do you have a better idea? I'd love to hear it, so please let me know!
