At 5th level he will be 2Fighter/3Ranger...still focusing on archery. Then I will give him 8 levels of Horizon Walker PrC, so he can get some nice tricks up his sleeve and some nice bonuses against certain creatures. Then I want to go the Cragtop Archer(I think that is what it is called, it is the Races of Stone book) he should easily meet the requirements for both. I can't think of what else to do to flesh him out i.e. Feats and skills. Also, what kinds of items should I get for him as the cash comes in. I just want to end up wasting slots that could be better utilized. Thanks.

Once you get up to higher levels everything you're fighting has DR and all the archers I've seen loose interest when they have a difficult time overcoming it. 30 arrows a round is nice, but when you're only doing 11 damage per arrow and the baddie has a DR 15/cold iron it gets frustrating. My favorite is a Rog/Ftr build with Greater Manyshot. I'm currently playing one whose on his way to that and loving it. Hyperion
