PlaDeDump 12-26-05, 05:43 PM	A Fighter with a Composite Longbow is one of my favorite builds. Human (for the extra feat). Point Blank shot & Precise Shot for starting feats. You'll need a High Dex score too (at least 16). Some people like the Ranger class and that's cool too. I like the Fighter class for all the bonus feats.
sandskimmer 12-26-05, 06:28 PM	Fighter/Ranger combo also works. Use the Ranger class to get some free feats with the bow & use your bonus fighter feats to pick up all the other archery feats. Add in a few levels of Rogue & then you can also sneak attack if within 30' of your target. Then, pick out an archery prestige class in one of the splat books to give yourself more archery options/abilities.
Milburn 12-26-05, 06:29 PM	Yeah, People often make the mistake of thinking that rangers are better archers than fighters. If the fighters specialises in Archery, then (s)he will be alot better, unless you are playing in a wilderness campaign, in which case the ranger will have other extremely useful advantages.
Edymnion 12-26-05, 06:58 PM	Fighter, high dex. Be a human, take Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and Rapid Shot as your three first level feats.
