We're currently only on the first chapter of RotRL and our party is lacking anyone who can fight at range. This issue was inevitably brought to our attention when we faced the quasit in the Catacombs of Wrath.
So, I was wondering, without spoiling anything, is having a ranged character essential in this AP or will we be able to make do without?
Our party consists of 4 characters:
Aasimar Oath of Vengeance Paladin
Halfling Mouser Swashbuckler
Half-Orc Barbarian
Human Arcanist
Now, I, the Paladin, would easily be able to pick up a composite longbow and do some damage since my ability scores would allow it. However, I will be lacking any archery feats so I won't be as efficient as a class dedicated to archery.
