[QUOTE="Nefarii, post: 3703541, member: 54541"] Background in the World: The world is split in two, 5 houses in the south and 4 houses in the north; both regions are in a constant struggle to combat the arcane arts. The houses in the north and south decide to combine armies and wage an all out war against spell casters. After victory was won in the south, the north demanded the same help in their attempts to purge their lands of magic; only the south refused and in retaliation the north destroyed 2 of the 5 houses in the south. (This campaign has been going on for a few years now and seems fairly epic and now me and a friend of mine are jumping into the world) My concept is that I was apart of one of the houses in the south that was attacked and destroyed. During the battle I was stabbed and left for dead as my home was set ablaze, fortunately I was rescued before the house collapsed on me though it left me scarred and disfigured. Owing my life to this person (and considering I have no family, home, or possessions left) I decide to follow him. The man I am following (my friend IRL) is a charismatic fighter who is going for leadership in order to build an army to seek revenge against the north. Since I am disfigured I follow him from afar, in bushes, or on rooftops/in alleys; I never interact with other people (I assume I wear a mask). I watch his back and protect him as he tries to recruit people into his army for the upcoming war. Our DM has limited us to human and will let us use most of the books provided it would be reasonable that our character would have had access to the class/feats So... my build is stealthy range fighter who will rarely be in close combat Ranger 2/ Scout Sniper 1/ Rouge 1 1 - Favorite creature type (human), track, wild empathy, precise shot 2 - Combat style (rapid shot) 3 - Sniper shot (+1d6), Able Sniper (+2 to attack when flat footed, +4 to hide after) 4 - Sneak Attack, Trap finding I'm not sure where to go from here though, I would like to at least plan to level 9; prestige classes I am looking at are Darkwood Stalker, Bow Initiate, and Deepwood Sniper, but I'm not sure if I would like to get some more sneak attack damage or Sniper damage. Feats I'm looking at are: Foe Hunter: +2 bluff, listen, sense motive, spot, attack (stacks with favored enemy) Bow Feint: This would help with sneak attack damage if I was spotted I think this will be a fun concept to play but I definitely need the help of more experienced players to get the most out of this build [/QUOTE]
