My normal group is running a homemade, from level 1, but 3 of us and the GM are going to run a single shot campaign when we get together next month. The GM told us, I'll run it, but it's going to be Tomb of Horrors level, so bring your A games. I've been playing a ranger in the main campaign, with a paladin "tank" and a cleric healer in a 2nd side game.
I really am interested in the fighter class and was thinking of going pure archery, but without knowing what the others are doing, I was thinking maybe I need to go more switch hitter style. It's a 20 point buy and we haven't settled exact level yet, but at least 10.
The GM has basically told us nothing is really off limits although he would have to approve things like a hobgoblin ranger (odd races would have to be approved)
One guy is leaning towards Drow Assassin. The GM and I have discussed the straight fighter archer, but even dipping into Rogue to get the sneak attack option too. So I could go 9 fighter 1 rogue.
I've read all the fighter guides and they seem to focus mostly on 2handers or TWF builds. I am not opposed to a Ranger build, but I've skirted around fighter so many times (i've killed a character and almost created a fighter and the side project I waffled fighter/paladin).
So anyway, we are starting with the 62k and skills/traits/feats etc. I really want to bring my A game, because once this run is done, we start the campaign I am GMing, swapping places with the current GM and dropping the other side campaign. I want to have a great finish!
If it's a genuine Tomb of Horrors style adventure then it doesn't really matter what you build. The entire party will be dead long before the pizza's been delivered.
Zen archer monk is your best bet for sheer survival and combat utility.
