Looked at some builds and online handbooks, very handy.

Decided on Paladin, ranged.

25 pt build, no starting stat (before race/level) below 8, above 16 *Don't like that.
Starting level 6

16k gp. Anything published Paizo PF 1e only.

Thinking :
Aasimar - Azata-Blooded

level 6 (+1 Dex) and racial = S14 D19 C12 I10 W8 Chr18

Feats:
1 Point Blank Shot
3 Precise Shot
5 Deadly Aim (Combat)

7 Rapid Shot
9 Clustered Shots (Combat)
11 Improved Precise Shot
13 Improved Critical (CLB)
15 Critical Focus (CLB)
17 Staggering Critical
19 Stunning Critical

Skills - Max out Perception...


Traits:
Indomitable Faith - +1 will save
Eyes and Ears of the City - Benefits: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks, and Perception is always a class skill for you.

Spell, Tactical Acumen (1st).

Dex/Con belt +2 (10k)

+1 Adaptive Comp Long Bow.
+2000 (+1)
+1000 (adaptive)
100 (comp LboW)
+300 MW
= 3,400 GP.

Mithral Shirt 1,100
+1 +1.000
= 2,100 GP

500 gp left.



Thoughts on anything?

I am great at 3.5 opt, but, PF is something I play time to time, so, looking for advice on build/gear.

Looks solid overall.

Check out the Divine Hunter archetype.
Instead of the indomitable trait, try Deadeye Bowman.
You probably won't reach level 15 or anything, but spending so many feats on criticals is probably overkill.
And the Bless spell is probably better than Tactical Acumen.

Finally, since archery + smite evil is already one of the most damaging combos in the game, you probably don't need to invest all your feats in offense. Try putting some feats into utility and/or party support for a more versatile character.

I did look at the Divine Hunter, didn't care for the trade offs.

Deadeye looks cool... Might be a thing now. Yeah +1 to will, with a high Chr seems unnecessary.

GM did say prepare for level 20. So, maybe.

The Tactical Acumen, is cause of an inside joke.

Think, SPOOOON.

But, TACTICS!!!

Thanks!
