Hey all, I was perusing my books the other day when a fairly nasty idea began to form in my mind. the basic build would follow as follows:
Fighter 4/Ranger 1[using the "arcanist" favored enemy option]/Ashbound Eldeen ranger 5/ Occult slayer 5

Thats a 15th level character who is nye unstobable when it comes to killing "arcanists"

The basic structure can be changed based on how you want to do it. In my mind this character is an archer, who focuses on skirmishing mages to pieces. How ever two weapon fighting or two handed fighting would work just aswell.

A few ideal characters came to mind.

War forged option
Take the build above, but use the WF substitution levels to increas combat effectiveness. Also this build would use two armbows combined with rapid shot, and twf to hail bolts on unwary spell casters. This build would be a bit feat dependant, but would lay waste to "arcanists" quickly. Also of note is the Monocle of the ebon hunter, which improves ranged weapon acuracy, this item is a warforged compnent found in magic of eberron.

Shifter option
This one is a bit fuzzy because not many shifter things fit into the archery idea, until you look at the longstride, and dreamsight traits. if you took both of these traits and their elite feats, your shifter mage slayer can see invisible things, and move around like crazy while shifting. This greatly improves your ability to track down and kill "arcanists"

Human option
This is just the plain build shown above, but it would possily incorporate the "tentacle vine" plant graft. This would be included so that the character could draw in "arcanists" and grapple them with his vines. Through in some kind of spiked armour, and you could deny your oponents spells if your arrows arent working so well. Mage armour doesnt stop grappling as well as it does arrows.


Any responses to this basic build are apreciated. I dont know if I would play this character.. or have it be a antagonist in my current eberron game.

thanks in advance for your thoughts, and criticism.

KAMIKAZE! :chicken: out.
