[QUOTE="Dingo333, post: 5541918, member: 6672910"] you should take quick relook through the spell list of the ranger, APG added some very nice ones that will help you with the "my weapon's damage dice is low" problem Lead Blades: Your melee attacks deal damage as if they were 1 size category larger, minutes duration Hunter's Howl: Enemies treated as favored for 1round/level A smattering of cure spells (self sufficience mostly) Darkvision: 60ft, duration is in the hour range Aspect of the Wolf/Stag/Bear: Bonuses to defence and/or attacks, minutes duration Instant Enemy: Like Hunter's Howl, but better There is also the Beast Master archtype, Any animal companion, and you can have a lot of them, good for flanking, snag something as a mount, (a Roc for flight and an Arsinoitherium for land/combat) Only really lose 6th level feat, a pain yes, but not as big when you are charging down someone with a herd of elephants If you go short sword as an elf, you can take Improved critical shortsword or get both swords keen, and use your first 8 favored class bonuses to gain a +1/2 (total +4) to critical hits, you may not get as many critical hits, but you will confirm them more often (scimitar is not on the list and would require a feat for the same effect) On a side note, APG also added a 2 handed weapon style, and the curved elven sword is a very large scimitar (1d10, 18-20/x2, can use finesse with it) [/QUOTE]
