Try an archetype in demon slayers handbook.
You could try being an Archery-focused Ranger is fighting in Melee isn't your idea of a good time.
Sounds like Wrath of the Righteous to me.
We were going to do that, but then our DM decided to do shattered star instead. (*sigh*)
Anyway, here are some concepts that I had in my brain for that:
Sebastian Conroy: A paladin whose best years are behind him. He defended a small village for most of his life against the odd wondering monster, but now that he has reached middle age, he feels like he may have been wasting his calling, so now he seeks adventure and wants to play an active role in turning back the tide of darkness.
Alexandra Xanderath: An unassuming librarian with a penchant for magic. She's an abjurer by specialty, but has a talent for Necromantic spells that scares her a little bit. Though powerful, she is wary of what this magic might represent.
Valatora Thurne: A character with a mysterious past; she was found in the wilds around the worldwound. Though she is a devout worshiper of Sarenrae, she sometimes falls into a seething fury, and rampages on an unstoppable orgy of destruction, the only words she speaks then is an otherworldly hiss; 'Rooo-Vaaaaaa-Guuuuuuuug'.
Timea Andaire: A paladin of Iomedae. Courageous, resolute, and carries her faith as a torch. She enters battle with a fire in her belly, and a hymn on her lips.
I've got more, if you are interested. (Last count, my character folder had 90+ concepts in carious stages of development/description)
