Does anyone know of any race who has favored class: Scout?

I know that I could just switch the Elf favored class, but I was just wondering if my work was cut out for me :D.

Something with +Dex would be preferable, of course.

Unfortunately I don't have the MM4. Is there a link you could give me?

05-09-07, 02:59 PM I like the Varag, but I don't like LA at all.

I just made up a level 7 Human Scout, and he's pretty good. I rolled 4d6, and dropped the lowest for ability scores, and his Dexterity score ended up as 21 (18 base+1 at level+gloves of dexterity+2), and he has a 17 Wisdom. The rest are all 14s (yes, I rolled that way).

He has a +1 flaming composite shortbow,(+2 Strength bonus), which makes it so if I move 10ft or more I deal 4d6 damage, +8 since I have a Dexterity modifier of 5, the weapon is +1, and it's composite. (Don't forget skirmish.)

That's more damage than the Knight, but less than the Warmage. Pretty good, I think.

The Human racial traits gave me an extra feat, so I had five feats to use when I was making it. I ended up with Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Dodge, Mobility, and Shot on the Run.

I might change the special ability of the bow, since flaming weapons+weapons=forest fires=not very Scoutish.

I think ended up with a good character, overall. If there are better races, though, I wouldn't mind re-making the character, though.

Are you adding your Dex bonus to damage? Counting skirmish, you should attack at +11 for 3d6 +1d6 fire + 3 (adding +1 to attack and damage if within 30 feet). Your Dex modifier only counts toward your attack roll, not for damage.

Really? Crud. Oh well. So roll the die.

05-10-07, 07:11 PM Keep the flaming on your bow, and then if you want a different elemental damage then pick up an augament crystal, you can add an extra d6 of that damage type. and the highest ones (once your bows enhancment is +3 or better) gets a neat ability, i like the acid one as it helps the rouges (and spell casters with touch attacks) hit easier, that -1 goes along way

The problem is that agament crystals are in the Magic Item Compendium, and I don't have it :(.

I can't: I don't have the funds, since I'm trying to get enough money to buy a good computer.

(It's hard... I keep having to make Will saves. Once a day, at least.)

Well, at least you can use Internet at home. Right? I can't, and now I have to cut down my Internet time consumal at school and I have been given a netban at my local library. Also, the local net café-prices are just sick (3€/hour).

Well I hate pdfs myself but you can always bit torrent it until you can afford a hard copy.
