11-19-06, 09:34 AM We are starting a new campaign and I will be playing a Mongrelfolk Ranger. We are using a 32 point buy and all core books. Any other material can be negotiated as long as it is not setting specific.

I'm sure there's alot of threads here already on the topic but I could not find any in the first 20 pages or so. If someone has some links it would be much appreciated.

I would like the characters main focus be combat, he's a bountyhunter focusing on Goblinoids at the moment. Also if someone posts a build I'd like for it to be playable at all lvl's since we are currently lvl 2 and will be playing to 20 or so.

Thanks in advance

11-20-06, 04:51 PM I don't remember the mongrelfolk attribute modifiers but one fact about archers often overlooked by new players of them is the need for a high str in addition to the high dexterity.

You want at least 16s in both, and if the +4 strength bow is the best bow you can commonly buy in the campaign, you may want to get an 18 str (much easier if you play a race that gets str bonuses).
