What would a non-elven cleric archer look like?

Unread post by NegInfinity »

I'm curious what an archer cleric would look like.

The only restrictions are:
1. Tiefling, genasi or non-elf.
2. Compatible with evil alignment.

Longbow preferred, but not necessary.

Ideas?

P.S. I probably won't be rolling this character, just curious.

Looks like that : http://nwn2db.com/build/?110476

Buffed it gets 40+ AB while using manyshot, bit more than 20 damage per arrow and a bit less than 40 AC.

That looks surprisingly straightforward.

Would it be playable on bgtscc? I think it could fit air genasi well, although they have wisdom penalty. (Aaand of course in case of tieflings they have Rogue as favored class)

Pretty certain it would do completely fine on BGTSCC, and whenever you need it's always possible to fall back to weapon&shield where you'll have good enough AC. Consider fire genasi to avoid the wis penalty and exp penalty.

You can also pump STR a bit more if you want a bit more damage, it depends on the bow(s) you'll use but bows with mighty 8 exist (so up to +8 damage if you have 8 STR modifier).

If I was Genasi I would consider Cl13/Hie8/EA5/F4 with CL29 and some nice extra damage.

Grey Orc is pretty much not an elf, right?

Would this one work with 3b20?

Nope, you need 13 levels of progression to pick hierophant. Considering you need 3 levels before 20 that limits multiclassing to 1 class or 2 classes with at least 1 giving spell progression.

Oh well then maybe Cl12/DS3/Hi10/EA5. First 20 would be Cleric11/DS3/Hi3/EA3.

Right they have Cleric as favored. That certainly opens up some possibilities.
