Want to create a backup character who multiclasses into whatever needed to be an ultimate ranged weapon specialist. I want to try out a lot of the Nomad disciplines from the UA Mystic class though. I'm going to do some research here in between errands and see what I can come up with.

I'd like some fighter and ranger and mystic for sure. It'll be MAD a bit but our stats can be these in ANY order before racials. 13 13 13 12 12 16 Or 15 14 13 12 12 10

I'm thinking maybe Fighter (Arcane Archer), Ranger (the UA Revised Ranger maybe Monster Slayer?), Rogue (most likely not 3rd), and Mystic (Nomad or Immortal).

Maybe have up to 8 levels in Fighter, 3 to 4 in Ranger, 2 at most-maybe 3 in Rogue, and no less than 5 in Mystic.
Gives me 2 attacks, 5 ASI's most likely, Expertise in Stealth & Perception, 5 skills plus possibly more from Background/Race choice, all the armor profs I'd want and all weapons too.

Nothing super powerful though at high levels. Could have up to 3 attacks per round with Fighter and a Mystic discipline on my bow attacks. So not a powerhouse by any means though but lots of skills and abilities (mostly minor things).

Or 12 Fighter, 2 Ranger, 1 Rogue, 5 Mystic. OR 8 Fighter, 3 Ranger, 1 Rogue, 8 Mystic

If you want to be an ultimate ranged specialist and like the idea of the mystic then dont take too many levels of other things or you wont have the points you need to have fun. Only two things really add much to the mystic archer.

1: Archery Fighting style
2: Extra attack

Ranger 5 gets you both of these and a handful of useful spells. I would take that and put all the other levels into mystic. Alternatively take fighter up to 11 and the rest mystic, although at that point you are more fighter than mystic.

You're very right on taking more Mystic levels. I felt that I could really use Expertise from Rogue and really wanted Close Quarters Shooter style from Ranger along with the good stuff a couple levels in ranger gives you.

I have to have 5 levels in Arcane Archer fighter though. Arcane Archer gives me the Archery style, extra attack, action surge, +1/+1 magic arrows at 3rd level and a couple Magic Trick Shot choices.

So maybe take 5 fighter, 1 rogue, 2 ranger and 12 mystic. 4 ASI's this way and only needing 1 feat so 3 of those for stat bumps. Or maybe 1 stat bump and Sharpshooter, Alert, and Observant.

Or just drop rogue and take 6 fighter, 2 ranger, 12 mystic for 5 ASI's. Yeah this last one seems a better choice so far.
