so many ways to go with it...
geeeez!!! post any then, so i can compare to mine
I would think Bard 16/Rogue 13/AA 11 would probably be the best combo. You can get level 5 (6 boosted) bard spells, the level 16 bard song and curse song, epic dodge, +6 from the enchanted arrows and a 7D6 sneak attack. _________________ Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do.
To elaborate, say Elf (you could go half-elf to avoid the XP penalty) With base attributes STR 10 DEX 16 CON 12 INT 14 WIS 8 CHA 16
Go Bard 4/Rogue 6/AA 10 pre-epic, for pre-epic feats: point blank shot, rapid shot, called shot, weapon focus (longbow), curse song, lingering song, toughness. For epic feats: great dexterity I-IV, epic weapon focus (longbow), epic prowess, improved evasion, defensive roll and epic dodge. Spend all ten attribute bonuses on DEX.
You should finish with a 47 AB, unbuffed with a normal longbow unbuffed. With bard song and war cry you can raise that to 49 and with curse song you can lower your opponents AC by 5 (effectively raising your AB to 54, 60 on a successful taunt). Your damage should be 6+1D8 peircing +7D6 sneak attack (+3 bludgeoning and +2 slashing with bard song and war cry) with a normal longbow. _________________ Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do.
