[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 23259, member: 529"] Don't know what the 'best' archer is, but I'm inclined to go with the psychic warrior or fighter, depending on taste. My wife plays a human Sorcerer1/Fighter4/Paladin1 as an archer. She casts shield to avoid return fire, and true strike, and prays with every shot (like the sniper in Saving Private Ryan). Her next level will be in Order of the Bow Initiate. Currently she is frighteningly deadly at range, and has only begun to have time to scribe scrolls of true strike and shield. Feats: Scribe Scroll, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Precise Shot, Weapon Focus: composite longbow, Weapon Specialization: composite longbow, Leadership. I think she's got a pretty interesting character. As focused as she is on archery, her high Strength and Dexterity make her well suited to melee as well, and having a cohort to guard her back is going to help her a lot. A couple of levels ago she scored no less than 3 critical hits on a dragon, doing most of the party's damage, and probably saving all of their lives. Btw, through gameplay in an earlier campaign I've found that "Improved Rapid Shot" from the "How to create a feat" article in Dragon is boring and overpowered. If you use it, I'd still let it have a -1/-1 penalty. Better to have them pick something more interesting though. [/QUOTE]
