This stemmed from my crossbow sniper thread as I realised that it was going to be nearly impossible to build a good character that way. The idea is a charcter that is good at guerrilla style warfare. I'd have liked to get some sniper in there as well but again I'm left thinking its not really doable. Whats below is taken directly from my post in my crossbow sniper thread...


Ok so heres what I've got so far, going with the Kalashatar idea

Stat preference:Wis, Dex, Con, Cha, Int, Str
Cha is above int and str due to the mind blade feat allowing me to add cha to damage (if it fits) and to help with social interaction. That said there shouldn't be a strength penalty

Cobra Strike Monk2/Kalash sub soulknife 1/Soulknife +2/Soulbow 4/Atavist 10 (cautious spirit)

Feats
1 IUA, Dodge, Point Blank Shot
2 Mobility
3 Weapon Focus (Mindblade, also soulbow),
6 Precise Shot, Zen Archery
8 Many Shot
9 Soulblade Warrior (counts as lev 6 soulbow for enhancements)
12 Shoot on the run
15 Woodland Archer
18 Able Sniper (is it worth it at this level? alternative could be shield of thought maybe)

Ends with

uarmed strike of level 12 monk, 17 with belt
enhancements of level 6 soulbow
+3 mind blade/soulbow which counts as magic and for 1 pp good when countering DR
BAB +15
Swift action mind blade formation
Wis to AC, AB and damage with soulbow
extra move or standard action and other atavist goodies
+1d8 precision damage against non-mindless creatures
close combat shot ability

so the new questions are: what to do with that last level and last feat and is there some obvious addition I've missed to make this a better character


I'm now thinking that instead of Soulknife 3 I'll skip the +1d8 precision damage and instead take a level of fighter at 5 and then another after the first soul bow level to get 2 extra feats. One of which would be far shot and then possible rapid shot.

thanks in advance for any reply
