Alrighty so for my current game im playing a scout and i've made my own build using the various handbooks i could find and i was wondering if you guys could give me some advice (we are level 5 right now but i built it 1-20 weeks ago). I'm mostly looking for ways to strengthen the build while keeping it close to the same (i know about zen archery i just wanted to use scout plus im going for a slightly sneaky build)

1. scout 1 with the feat point blank shot
2. fighter 1 using the variant that lets me add dex to damage with a composite bow
3. ranger 1 favored enemy undead and the swift tracker feat
4. ranger 2 +1 dex and rapid shot as a bonus feat
5. scout 2
6. cleric 1 with travel devotion feat
7-20 scout 3-16 getting weapon focus longbow at 9 so i can get dead eye (dex to dmg whil in 30 ft) at level 12

i know the game is going to go to at least 15 but so far i have felt like i was slightly under-preforming (i did just get a precise weapon to negate the need for precise shot) but any suggestions would be a huge help and i can provide any other information as needed!


edit:my race is poison dusk lizardfolk but its edited so i just get a +2dex and -2 cha along with the small sized and some other non important things and my starting stats after race adjustments are
str14 dex20 con16 int16 wis14 cha12

Consider taking Swift Hunter. Or is that what you meant by Swift Tracker (which isn't a feat?) In that case, you're not qualifying for it without Scout 3... Either way, Swift Hunter is helpful for bypassing skirmish immunity.

!!! i did mean swift hunter and i completly missed that i guess that means its time for some revisions :smalleek: thanks for pointing that out!

alright so i would have to change the ranger levels with the second scout level and a third scout level while dropping my level of cleric to level 7 and get swift hunter as my level 6 feat

Maxing out Ranger instead of Scout levels will leave you with better BAB and HP. You'll want Scout 4/Fighter 1/Cleric 1/Ranger 14, shuffled however you like. Consider also Unseen Seer, which can gives you better Skirmish and also lovely lovely spells.
