Hey, playing an archer for the only the second time, last time was a Zen Archer, this time I'm making a Paladin archer. Instantly noticing the feat difference. So what I'm wondering is what I should be looking at for gear, and especially feats and spells. We're starting at level 1, now are level 2. A few things to note:
Stats are high. We rolled stats, all three of us got to use whichever array we wanted of our rolls.
The other two are running a Butterfly Sting combo in melee. Inquisitor and scythe Oracle.
We will be going into mythic. This is probably the biggest thing I'd love some advice towards as it's brand new for me. Looking at Champion at the moment.
Doing a campaign based on/similar to Wrath of the Righteous. Homebrew, but that's the inspiration.
Here he is at level 2:
Str: 18
Dex: 20
Con: 16
Int: 12
Wis: 14
Cha: 18
Feats:
1: Point Blank Shot
Class: Precise Shot.
Equipment:
Masterwork Composite Longbow (+2 STR bonus)
Greatsword
Studded Leather armor.
At 8th we have houserules I will be getting Point Blank Master to replace the normal Aura of Care.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I'll do my best to reply to additional questions in a timely manner.
Wow, nice stats! For feats, I'd go with much of what you pick up for free with Zen Archer, as well as rapid/many shot. You might want to use the snap shot chain to pick up attacks of opportunity, but that's up to you.
Some of a paladins best spells are his swift-action spells, since you can use them in combat and not reduce your damage. Aside from that, Protection from Evil is a decent 1st level spell for an AC boost.
For a second level character your gear looks pretty good, and I don't know enough about mythic to help you there. Good luck!
Ah, thanks Dragonflyer. I'll look into it and do some planning. Time to dig into Mythic I guess. XD
Uh just pick up every archery feat and you'll blend anything evil into a fine mist by the time you get rapid shot.
It'll be practically impossible to go wrong with those stats.
I'd suggest going oath of vengeance or core paladin over divine hunter since that's a trap unless you are only taking 2 levels of paladin.
