Hi all!
With the recent change to allow rogue to grab master ninja tricks (one of the recent errata), I've been able to resurrect a halfling sniper concept I once had -- but now it can come online before level 10.
Here are the gear/abilities I'm aware of that can help make this useful, I'm wondering if there are any that I'm missing.
Gear:
* Sniper Goggles (don't think I'll be able to afford the greater version for I retire from PFS)
* Sniper/Greater Sniping bow enchant
* Ring of Invisibility (maybe)
* Highly enchanted bow
* Elven cloak (of course)
Feats:
* Hellcat Stealth
* Dampen Presence
* Extra Ki (maybe)
Other Abilities:
* Halfling alt racial trait to reduce sniping penalty
* Unchained Rogue skill unlock: stealth
* Sniper archetype (for greater SA range)
Anything else that would help a sniping-focused character?
The plan is to go all in on Unchained Rogue, cherry-picking some ninja abilities like ki pool, vanishing trick, and assassinate. I'll probably spend a few feats on the classic archery feats so I can go to town when needed, though thematically I'd stick with sniping and the ninja assassinate ability. Hellcat stealth would help keep that consistent.
Bane Baldric might be a good idea for filling precision-immune creatures with arrows.
