I was pretty impressed my the Stalker of Evil biult -
so here my variant

Race: Drow
( btw. is there an other Race with a high SR and max LA +2 ? )

Classes: Rogue ( or Monk ) 2 / Fighter 2 / Ranger 2
PrC: Stalker of Karash 2 ( or 4 ) / Foehunter 4
perhaps later on one Level of Templer or the Saint template :angel:

Should I go for ranged combat, two weapon or two handed combat ?
As a drow my strength score is relativ low, perhaps there is a better fitting race with a high ( 7+ ) Spellresistance ?

:D Drow isn't carved into stone -
what about the BARIAUR ( don't know if he gets more strength ) ?

You mean max +2 ECL or LA?

One thing Funny forgot to mention is that both of those scimitars impose incredible amounts of angst onto the character and must be role-played as such.

Bow.

Drow don't have the strength for TWF and THF only starts to match THF when you get +6 bonus damage on each weapon. Even then the THFer is far more flexible unless you have a dervish.

Twin Scimitars are just plain c**p unless you are a dervish. Of course, Funny is almost right about them being mandatory :smirk:

i would go with rogue3/ranger2 as a base, stalker then (hope you qualify but since you mentioned it...) followed by foe hunter.
after this expand your archery-skills with OotBI, DS and PA.

featwise there are the archery-feats, not much to do there since you wont have too many of them anyhow.
