I've been thinking of ways to play a baboon character lately. The idea is too be a sneaky treetopping scout. Heres a general build. I'm building im to level 12. No reason in particular. I just don't like the idea of a baboon higher than ECL 12.

Gobo the Awakened Baboon, Neutral Evil.

Baboon HD1-Weapon Focus(Bite)
Baboon HD2
Baboon HD3-Point Blank Shot
Ranger1(Favored Enemy:Fey)
Rogue1
Rogue2-Improved Natural Attack(Bite)
Ranger2(Archery Combat Style)
Ranger3(endurance)
Rogue3-Improved Favored Enemey(Fey),
Horizon Walker1(Mountain)
Fey Hunter1
Horizon Walker2(Cavernous)-Artiel Strike

Equipment: Studded Leather Armor, buckler. Composite Long Bow.

So what do you guys think, is making an awakened animal character worth it? Is there anything better I could do?

Cmon, an awakened baboon scout in epic levels is going to be way more awesome than anything you have now =(

I'm assuming Baboons on their own have no LA. And I'm assuming the +2HD from awakened animal is kind of a psuedo LA for the stat increases. If anyone knows otherwise, please tell me.

Vanara from Oriental Adventures are monkey guys, and have a natural climb speed.

Maybe that would be easier, no LA then.
