I'm gonna start my first gestalt game soon and since I'm not familiar with the process of building a gestalt character, I thought I'd turn I to experts (wink!wink!) for advises.

Now, some background to help you help me...

First: I'm the only player. Hence the gestalt. My boyfriend and I thought we would start a game between us over the holydays. So he's DM-ing for me. What can I say, we're just that romantic.

Second: we're doing the Warth of the Rightious adventure path. So a lot if demon fighting.

Third: DM has no specific restriction on classes or races.

Fourth: my personal taste... I don't like to play elves or spellcasters that have to choose and prepare their spell in advance. Hate it, in fact.

I've started to think a little about it and the combination ranger/paladin seemed really nice for that adventure path... Think favored enemy (evil outsider) with a pinch of smite evil.

Aaanyway... Any thoughts?

We recently started the Rise of the Runelords adventure path. I don't usually go for classes that concentrate on casting, but the party needed a spell caster so I decided to give a go at sorcerer. I'm playing a catfolk (extra charisma and dexterity for the initiative seemed like a great idea!) and I chose the Arcane bloodline. I want to focus on buff/debuff stuff. We just turned lev3 and I'm not sure what feat to get. As I said, I don't usually go for spellcasters so I'm unsure of the feat-path to follow. I've already taken improved initiative as my first feat.

Any advice would be nice

Ok. So I'm really new to any sort of rpg and I'm not perfectly familiar with all the rules. I'm currently playing a 8th level halfling ranger who's using a small composite longbow (keen). When I first build the character, I thought the game would be played on a smaller scale, but it turns out the DM's style tends more toward the epic. Lets just say that compared to the other party members, I really can't do much damage.

I'm wondering what could be done to substantially add to my damage or, at least, to the threat range of my bow (I already know improved critical doesn't stack with "keen"). Does a bow that use dex bonus on damage instead of str exist?
