Build Request: Surface Bounty Hunter

[Lanzlo]

A few times before, I've picked a build and molded a personality around it. This time, I'm doing something different. I'm picking a loose background and designing a build around that.

Loose background: A bounty hunter (LN or LG) from a desert region. Came to The Gate following a bounty.

Class: Probably a ranger of some flavor. Nothing set in stone at this point.

Just interested in what you all come up with.

[Sun Wukong]

Rogue 11/Assassin 9/Wilderness Stalker 10.

The build gets 14d6 Sneak Attack dice, and you can go for perfect two-weapon fighting or ranged combat. An interesting option for you could be a slinger, so grab the Shield Proficiency and Weapon Finesse feats and you also have some melee ability. Slinger would be a good thematical choice since deserts tend to have more rocks than trees to make arrows with.

Actually, here is an example build as a slinger: http://nwn2db.com/build/?284542

You can set traps, and could make use of that +3 STR and CON belt, you have maxed out heal skill... and survival. Enough UMD to use wands, so make use of wands to boost your horrible saves. Take notice how some might prefer to lower survival in order to increase UMD higher to make use of all the scrolls you come by in loot, it is the mechanically more sound option. Survival skill of 15+ is usually enough to track almost everything on a map.

There is a kit on BG, the Hunter kit. This build is based on this - http://nwn2db.com/build/?284546

This build is based on the bug/feature that AA works with all piercing weapons. So it will work with shortswords once it is activated giving +5AB and damage.

At ranger one activate the hunter kit which gives you Rapid shot/ Many hsot and two fav enemies.

40+AB for both ranged and melee, Similar damage for both ARchery and Melee - depending on weapons it can reach up to 30 + FEs +DA (5d6). Thats a lot of damage

This was a quick draft and can be customized further. You can switch CE/ICE for stealth feats, or one shot for something else. The skills can be organized more efficiently.

Pros
- Full Archery and PTWF
- 5 FEs
- Very high aB for both Archery and TWF
- Similar damage not depending on SA. Can be ery high when DA is applied

Cons
- Needs AC items with stealth ( Avernus gear )
- Manyshot at 21
- Elf or Half elf as a race

I would choose one between this or Sun Wukongs Wilderness Stalker. Both are suitable for a bounty harder type of character

Great, thank you. I think I'll go with mrm3ntalist's build, and FE of Human, Orc, Monstrous Humanoids, Elves, and Outsiders.

Make sure you get the Track feat and a decent survival skill. Hunter kit is perfect for the theme.
