Hey all! Been awhile since I posted, but wanted to see some thoughts on my character, from you amazing people! We have been playing a conversion of Pathfinder, a Wheel of Time one here:
http://www.jessesdnd.com/sites/default/files/WoTPathfinder.pdf
...you dont have to learn everything in it to give me advice, it is close to the same as pathfinder in many regards. My main questions are about feat selection for an archery ranger (the woodsman/blight scout achetype if you look it up following that link).
I just hit level six, and i am a level 4 ranger/1 fighter (blight scout 4/armswoman 1). I am deciding on what my next level will be, but my archery feats so far are as follows-with combat style ones included (dont have my sheet with me):
Percise shot
Point blank shot
Rapid fire
Deadly aim
Bull's eye shot
So i am firing two arrows a round, at -0/-4 (first shot bull's eye shot). For ranger builds which is what i am essentially, what are the next best archery feats? Im taking manyshot this level, but where do i go from there?
i have a DM created Two Rivers longbow, with stats that are: 1d8 + str mod, 19-20/x3, 110 ft range. I have an 18 str and a 20 dex (charisma 8, con 10, int and wisdome like 11 & 12 i think). Improved crit is something i want to do with this bow, as well as hae quivers of keen arrows. Is there anything else i should be thinking of?
So snapshot looks very promising, but point blank master, is that redundant with snapshot? I like the thought of more fighter, was going to take my secod level of it this level fr the feat. Blight scout's damage bonus vs shadowspawn is just so good im not sure i want to go there. Im getting a +3 hit/dam vs trollocs and +2 hit/dam vs myrdraal right now, and every four levels both of those go up and i can choose another to get +2 vs. So then, is weap specialization good enough to miss a little of that? I think so.
This is a worthwhile document. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Youre welcome!! Its been great to play too- only a few errors, nothing a good dm cant fix. We are playing 250-300 years after the books. I am the descendant of a two rivers long bowman and a maiden of the spear- but dont know it.
We were considering a similar conversion that has fizzled out in recent times. If you have a chance, you might look at it, too. Here is the thread.
Definitely will!
Any thoughts on cluster shot (name wrong maybe). I do pretty good with damage right now, but i want to be a dm's nightmare. Is vital strike ok? Or counterproductive with a bow user?
Just how good could a vital strike archer be? Maxed out on VS and to hit feats? Can it be used with rapid shot+manyshot?
