Made a few adjustments to Ffard's 'Elven Bounty Hunter' build from topic v2.0. I just couldn't get that progression to work for me.

I also changed the STR/INT attributes to give him a bit more of a punch.


Elven Bounty Hunter

Race: Elf. Align: True Neutral

Str 14, Dex 20, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 8

Rogue 1 - Pointblank Shot
Rogue 2
Rogue 3 - Weapon Focus Longbow
Rogue 4 - Dex to 21
Rogue 5
Rogue 6 - Rapid Shot
Rogue 7
Rogue 8 - Dex to 22
Bard 1 - Toughness
Arcane Archer 1
Arcane Archer 2
Arcane Archer 3 - Dex to 23, Imp. Critical Longbow
Arcane Archer 4
Arcane Archer 5
Arcane Archer 6 - Dodge
Arcane Archer 7 - Dex to 24
Arcane Archer 8
Arcane Archer 9 - Open Feat
Arcane Archer 10
Rogue 9 - Dex to 25
Arcane Archer 11 - Great Dex I (26)
Arcane Archer 12
Arcane Archer 13
Arcane Archer 14 - Dex to 27, Great Dex II, III (29)
Arcane Archer 15
Arcane Archer 16
Arcane Archer 17 - Epic Weapon Focus (Longbow)
Rogue 10 - Dex to 30, Improved Evasion
Arcane Archer 18 - Great Dex IV (31)
Rogue 11 - Self Concealment I
Arcane Archer 19
Arcane Archer 20 - Dex to 32
Rogue 12 - Self Concealment II
Arcane Archer 21
Arcane Archer 22 - Great Dex V (33)
Arcane Archer 23 - Dex to 34, Self Concealment III
Rogue 13 - Defensive Roll
Arcane Archer 24
Arcane Archer 25 - Epic Dodge
Arcane Archer 26 - Dex to 35, Great Dex VI (36)

---------------------------------

Now here's the question I came up with after trying out this build, is there any benefit of changing out the Epic Dodge for Self Concealment IV?

With Epic Dodge the first attack per round would miss, but the concealment would mean every attack has a 40% chance to miss. Wouldn't that be better?

Please let me know what you think.

I know this is an old build. But I like it.

Something the original poster asked got me thinking as well. If you were to drop two of the Great Dex feats. You would lose 1 ab and 1 ac, and take Self Concealment IV and V.

Any thoughts on this? I strongly suggest not to swap ED for SCIV. Regarding your question, Great DEX feats taken as AA bonus feats cannot be swapped for SC feats.

Cheers,
Kail

Born with a Heart of Steel! Why not? Are they not both epic feats? And SC is taken at AA levels...

Beacuse SC is not on the AA epic bonus feat list, so he has to use general feats for them.

TM ahh the bonus feats. Duh on me I'd recommend the Shadow Archer V2 /Bard 8/SD 16/AArcher 16 by syrath1001, it has ED & SCV.
