I ended the OC at something like Bard 11/RDD 7/AA 9. My build focused more on the bard levels than yours does, but that isn't necessarily better.

Half-elves don't get the free weapon proficiencies that full elves do. If you want to use a longsword, you'll have to play an elf or use a feat to take Martial Weapon Proficiency. Having access to the Use Magic Device skill opens up the use of scrolls and magic items of many sorts, including monk-only. This mix also provides a wonderful combination of saving throw bonuses. The spell casting of the Bard can get you stat boosting and defensive (Cure, Dispel, Remove) spells, not to mention bard song boosts. It's my favourite archer build for a reason. On the downside you can't use armor, but that's a quite small penalty if you have a high wis. ), has a high AC, monk speed (pair with haste for some really good movement speed), Deflect arrows (for those other archers in special cases), AA bonuses, several unarmed attacks, you get to use monk only gear (Dark moons, hasted robes that are very nifty), Improved Knockdown for melee, and no need for magical arrows. This build is very powerful, is a archer build _without_ high dex, shoots +5 arrows at L20 (and +15 arrows at L40. Strenght (Mighty bows, go with 14 in the start)Ĭharisma (this build doesn't need charisma much)
Wisdom (with wisdom you can increase Ac (monk ac) and AB (Zen Archery)) Monk 1 level (improved Evasion, lot of Tumble and Discipline) Wizard 1 level (diviner, memorize True Strikes)ĪA 10 levels (remember to save some points) Monk 8 levels (Weapon Focus: Longbow, Point Blank Shot and Zen Archery) I wont be going into melee much anyway, so perhaps the added stats dont make up for +5 to attack/damage from AA class. After all i give 10 levels away for, basicaly some stat boosts. I was thinking that perhaps the RDD levels were not that needed, eventhough they make an excellent roleplaying model. I'd have decent stats all over the board from RDD, nifty immunities, awsome ranged damage from AA and various buffs and spells from Bard. Perhaps some to longsword skill augmenting. Any others go wherever i feel like at the moment. Critical:longbow, point blank shot and rapid shot. Feats are not a big problem since i only really need Focus:longbow, I. The longsword is more for being cool than actualy doing wreaking any havoc. I was intending to wield that black intelligent longsword, with the best bow found in nearby shops. So in the end it'd look like brd 10/RDD 10/AA 20. Now, i was thinking about brd 5/RDD 10/AA x with saving skill points and raising bard level once in a time to max skills out, until bard levels reach 10. Again for bard builds, it's moderately needed. If we're talking about bard build it's quite necessary to have in decent amount since bards have a lot of class skills.Ĭharisma. Intelligence is another stat that is quite needed. Wisdom i can leave at 10 since i dont like to have a negative score. The only penalty you can get on ranged attacks is -2 of Rapid Shot as opposed to all sorts of melee drawbacks (Expertise, Power attack.) Has anyone tried playing an archer without high dex?Ĭonstitution isnt that important, eventhough it's nice to have a decent score. I'm wondering though, if it's that important at all. So 20 strenght would be needed.ĭexterity is the prime stat since it helps you hit the target. Strenght is important since there are many, many mighty +5 bows out there. The problem is, archers are a bit like paladins, with their stats spread very thin. There are lots of enemies in the game (majority AFAIK) who use ranged weapons, so you probably wont get smacked with power attack using Attacks of Opportunity if you try wielding a bow. So that's why i'm looking forward to playing an archer. I even killed the Mithril golems and the demi-lich without dying. It's become real easy and rather brain-dead activity. Remove all ads! I just played this bard 1/RDD 10/barbarian x for the last two days, with strenght over 40, and of course doing over 40 damage with each hit.
