Hey everybody, I'm relatively new to pathfinders and I was hoping I could get some basic questions answered and advice on a build or two. My buddies and I have recently returned to DnD via VTTs/g-hangout and we are having a blast. We played our first society mission the other night and now I have a few questions. I was also hoping to get some help with a build before I get to level 2. I'm playing a bard while attempting to fill the role of skill-monkey/archer/support.
My question is regarding one of my traits. I dont know what "You do not suffer a penalty for the second range increment when using a longbow or shortbow." means exactly. What is the 2nd range increment? Is there a link somewhere I can look at?
And any advice or suggestions on my build?
