Can I improve this level 1 Ranger further?
« on: December 14, 2011, 09:19:47 PM »
Good evening all!
Due to some unforeseen circumstances I found myself rolling up a ranger instead of a Wizard for an upcoming Pathfinder game. The fact is that I have never played something even close to a ranger before. I have read through some of the guides for rangers. Just be warned: some of his gear may look weird or seem that he has to much of it (like a ton of weaponry). It is part of his background story, and he will eventually lighten his burden.

What I need help with: Have I missed something that could help support this character now, or further ahead in the campaign? The campaign is likely to run to around level 12-14, possibly longer.
The character is intended to have his main focus as an archer, but should be able to support from the front-line in the capacity of providing damage, NOT to soak damage as a "tank".

Creation rules:
- Base races allowed
- Only allowed direct Pathfinder books (NO 3.5 books)
- Generous dice for stats (which you can see from the stats!)

STR: 18
DEX 17+2= 19
CON 16
INT 15
WIS 14
CHA 13

Race: Human
Level: 1
Feats: Point Black Shot, Precise Shot.
Traits (2): Rich Parents (RP reasons), Reactionary.
Favored Enemy: Human
Initiative: 6 = Dex 4 + Reactionary 2

Skills: (1 rank in all, 1 skill point remaining)
Climb, Handle Animal, Kno (Dungeoneering), Kno (Nature), Perception, Ride, Stealth, Survival, Swim.

Languages:
Common, Elvish, Orcish

Notable Equipment:
Composite Longbow (4)
Kukri (RP reasons, its how I befriended another player)
Morning Star
Buckler
Greatsword
Some spare throwing knives (3)
Arrows: Regular, Blunt, Flight, Alchemical Silver, Cold iron.

Armor: (AC 22)
Chain Shirt
Lamellar horn arms
Studded leather legs
Buckler

Heirloom weapon trait. You get a free masterwork weapon (such as a comp bow scaled to your str), and a +1 untyped to hit with this one specific bow.

you might want to look at Treantmonk's Guide to Pathfinder Rangers.
