Hello. I already have a rough idea of what to make of this characterbut would need some help,advice or suggestions; especially as to what level to take the "mandatory" Cloistered Cleric dip (I am trying to keep my base attack bonus as high as possible).
One question before I go further is about extra attacks given by high BAB and Skirmish adding to all attacks or not or if not how to fix that glaring flaw.
I am also trying to max out critical hit frequency and potency. I think I found the perfect PrC dip for it however and my DM allows it as he does almost anything for that matter.
I found a Staff of Defence (random luck) and numerous other treasure I sold to explain my uncanny wealth for my level.
Here are my current stats follow by my 20 level progression.
The Wanderer
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Deity: Shaundakul (Chosen before hearing of Travel Devotion's awesomeness)
Current level 5
Ranger 4/Scout 1
STR 17
DEX 21 (Gloves of Dex)
CON 17
INT 16
WIS 17
CHA 15 (I had not heard of Travel Devotion's awesomeness before making my character or I would have moved a stat around)
AC 25
HP 47
BAB +4
SAVES (Vig +7/Ref +11/Will +4)
Weapon: Greater SwordBow +2/+2 Psychokinetic Burst
Backup Weapon: +2 Javelin with Greater Crystal of Return
(I will add my other gear later as this is already a long post)
I have chosen to give up my spells for bonus feats and familiar for Distracting attack (My character is a loner so an animal would also not fit thematically)
Level Progression and feats/relevant Class abilities
Ranger 1 Point Blank Shot + Weapon Focus-Composite longbow (human bonus feat) Favored enemy #1 Arcanists
Ranger 2 Rapid Shot (Combat style feat)
Ranger 3 Precise Shot
Ranger 4 Weapon Specialization-Composite Longbow (instead of level 1 spells)
Scout 1 Skirmish (+1d6)
QUEST FEAT: Far Shot (For PrC requirement only)
Scout 2 Ranged Skirmisher (DM allows it) + Battle Fortitude +1
(DIP?)
Scout 3 Skirmish (+1d6 +1 AC) *BAB +6*
(DIP?)
Deepwood Sniper 1 Keen Arrows (19-20 critical)
Deepwood Sniper 2 Greater Weapon Focus + Critical Hits X4 with Composite Longbow
(DIP?)
Scout 4 Swift Hunter (Scout bonus feat)
Scout 5 Skirmish (+2d6 +1 AC) Evasion
Ranger 5 Improved Skirmish + Favored enemy #2 (undead)
Ranger 6 Skirmish (+2d6 +2 AC) Manyshot (instead of level 2 spells) *BAB +11*
Ranger 7 DEAD LEVEL
Ranger 8 Skirmish (+3d6 + 2 AC) Greater Weapon Specialization-Composite Longbow
Ranger 9 DEAD LEVEL
Ranger 10 Skirmish (+3d6 +3 AC) + Favored enemy #3 (constructs)
Ranger 11 Improved Precise Shot (Combat style feat) +Feat to be determined *BAB+16*
(SWITCH BACK TO SCOUT ?)
Ranger 12 Skirmish (+4d6 +3 AC)
Ranger 13 DEAD LEVEL
Scout 6-7-8 are acceptable since they lose no BAB at 6, 7 and 8. Rangers max out their use at 14 (spell level feat replacement and saves) or 15 (4th favored enemy).
Please help me improving this if you can. Any suggestions are welcomed. Nothing from Pathfinder or Dragon magazine if at all possible.
