Have a new character coming up in a campaign, and had decided to make him a ranger. I am required to make him human, and I'm fine with that. What I need is ideas on how to optimize his potential, mainly feat and skill wise. I will be following the Archery path, but if anyone has any custom paths they have made, put them up. Also, I am required to have at least 10 levels in my base class. Other than that, feel free to do what you please.

Long days and pleasant nights...

Books allowed? Do we know stats?

You could check the Optimization Library (in the sticky folder) for SKBSnowOwl's archer builds.

The books allowed are core stuff, Eberron stuff, MotW, Complete Warrior.

As for stats, the DM is allowing 32 point buy, and I'm planning on making Dex and Wis my primaries, with Str after that.

Also, target level to build is 5 at the moment. Most important considerations are skills and feats, but mainly skills.

Typically, rangers max Listen, Search, Spot, and Survival, though you could also max Hide and Move Silently without investing a point in INT. Knowledge (nature) and (dungeoneering) can be viable skills. How many ranger levels do you intend to take, and what do you believe your primary party role will be?
