I am looking to make a demonslayer that specializes in killing demons, as the name implies. I am using the Ranger Tanglebriar Demonslayer archetype at the moment. I am having a hard time making him a good demonslayer though. I am thinking ranged ranger because being near demons can be deadly, but their AC is so high I was thinking of using a gun so it can pierce it. But I don't know how to properly make a ranger/gunslinger class.
Secondly, I have never met a demon in PFS yet but I have been told I will at higher levels of play. Can anyone give me some advice on other things I could do to make my character an even better demonslayer? I am already thinking of getting a shining wayfinder so I can detect evil on everyone.
To be honest you don't see demons all that much. I've seen more devils than demons but a level or 2 of paladin could help you out. Smite evil on a bow is nasty.
Unless you're in a campaign where demons are going to be a major threat, it's probably a bad idea to specialize in this manner.
Also guns are bad, don't use them unless you are able to use advanced firearms like revolvers. Also there is very, very little reason to not be a switch-hitter if you're playing a ranger, since all you need is a greatsword and power attack and you can function perfectly fine in melee, while still devoting your combat style feats to ranged.
What is a switch hitter?
Switch hitter is the term for a character capable of fighting at range, and at melee. Take a few bow shots, then charge in with a greatsword, etc. Ranger excels at this as with their Ranger Combat Style they can easily pick up the necessary ranged fighting feats for use with a bow, and then all they really need to fight in melee as mentioned is taking Power Attack, and using a sufficient heavy weapon like a greatsword.
