Hey there, I want to make a halfling crossbowman who focusses on fighting against larger enemies / humanoids. Any ideas? I thought I'd go with the ranger but I'm not sure.
I say go ranger with a two levels of fighter ( or trhee level of weapon master). Crossbow is absurdly feat intensive.
If you are not settled with the crossbow thing, 3 levels in trench fighter give you really good bonus with firearms, then go for trhophy hunter ranger.
