Ranger Skirimsher build

[The Red One]

hey howdey to all
my dilemaI want to build a good Ranger Skirmisher but realy have no clue how to
the races I am considering for such are Hobgoblin Dwarf and Human( favoring the hobgob just cause they have no minuses in building )
should be a 2 weapon weilder ( I just do not care for bows)
and have animal companion suited for a fully subterainian adventure
so guys and galls your oppions and suggestion would be a great help

If your mind is set on the Skirmisher, you don´t need much Wisdom, but more Strenth, Dex and Con. Greatsword or falchion as weapon and be sure to have some shorter blade, just in case DM cares for such things.
For subterrainian i´d recommend dwarf, or at least the Hobo for darkvision, otherwise human for the feat. For an animal companion badger would be a suitable, but generally the leopard/cheetah and the wolf are considered the best.
As for feats, take powerattack, furious focus, maybe cleave and go from there.
Favoured terrain: underground at 3rd level
Favoured enemy: ?
Seriously, consider the archetype Guide. The Ranger focus is really good and in a subterrainian campaign you could ALWAYS put +2 on your partys initiative from level four. No animal companion, but the ranger spells are really good too.

Oh yeah, Hobgoblin is good. Stack guide with your skirmisher archetype. Sneaky as hell, and damn dangerous.

If you are looking to go more feral, take the adopted trait to get tusked and gain a bite. The go natural weapon style and take Aspect of the Beast to gain claws.
