Creating a Sniper

[Zephonim]

So GM's setting actual has magical sniper rifles.

Range increment is 150 feet

Stats:
20 dex, 15 int, 14 wis, 14 str,


2d12 x3 crit

I'm trying to create a decent sniper character my original plan was going to ride a dire eagle and snipe from the skies but i'm not entirely sure if i'll be able to do that viably with the feats i need to take. GM also has a rule you can spend 5 skillpoints to get a feat on a level you don't get a feat or a bonus feat.

My build

2 Mystic Ranger/3 Targeteer/Deepwood Sniper 1/Targeteer 4/ Cragtop Archer 1(for the spot and distance penalty reductions)/Deepwood Sniper 7

Feats:
1:Point Blank Shot
Flaw: Precise Shot
Flaw: Rapid Shot
Human: Far Shot
2: Weapon Focus(Sniper)
3: Item Familiar(All into spot all of it)
6: Mountain Warrior

Not really sure where to go afterwards

Gaining these from Targeteer.

Arrow Swarm – (prerequisite: Rapid Shot) As a Full Round Attack, the
Targetteer may make two extra ranged attacks at his/her highest attack
bonus, but all attacks receive a –5 penalty.

Sniper – As a Full Round Attack, the Targetteer may “sacrifice” one shot to
gain +1 critical threat range on a shot in that Full Round Attack. Multiple
attacks may be sacrificed. The bonus is only for one shot & does not “carry
over” from round to round.

Add dex to damage.

So i spoke with my gm and he i'll be able to retrain far shot if i purchase horizon goggles later on. His world is super high and wide magic.

If the world's high-magic, try talking your DM into an item of continuous Mirror Move (https://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/sb/sb20000901a) that gets you Distant Shot (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Distant_Shot). You need to get dexterity to 25 (easily done with a +6 item) and have 20 ranks in spot (a skill most of your classes seem to have), and once that's taken care of you can attack at any distance.

... I'd have to be level 17 for that. So uh... FOR WHAT PURPOSE? I'd be 4 levels from that **** normally anyway?

Not all campaigns go Epic: I figured you'd like a way to get Distant Shot if yours wasn't going to.
