Anointed Sniper

Unread post by zyztem »

So I was playing around with builder/JEGs and come up with this crossbow archer build.

http://nwn2db.com/build/?238135

Any thoughts/suggestions?

I wouldn't worry about getting HIPs late. My archer doesn't get it till 26, don't have it yet, have never needed it. You may want to consider replacing the last four levels of fighter with elemental archer, as well.

are they equivalent tho?
as four levels of fighter gets +2 AB and +2 damage
and four levels of EA gets +2 AB and 2 Element damage(which is easier to resist)
Also getting EA levels means that I need 3 levels before epic, which can mess up the progression of this build

PS: Change to a halfling, for the extra feat & bonuses

The elemental damage from elemental archer cannot be resisted by any means, including total immunity to the element, last I checked.

I'll try to remember to put something together when I am less distracted.

Just RCRed one to lvl13,
This build is insanely strong, I hit enemies very consistently, every hit does 50+ dmg already, and i have 31 AC umbuffed and 160 hp, not to mention very good saves.

The secret to a good archer is fighter instead of ranger, don't tell anyone.
