Pathfinder is even worse with that. Level 20 Wizards can bend the laws of the universe to their wills. Level 20 Brawlers? They can throw people in a straight line

[GreatWyrmGold]

Cool, thanks.

What area were you thinking of putting your campaign in, GWG?

I dunno. Somewhere not taken, that fits with whatever campaign type I run, which will be one different than what the other guys are.

It's funny, I'm trying to make a monk here...despite the lack of a campaign for one...thinking the ascetic feats are the way to go...
But I came across a quote that made me laugh.

A 20th-level Wizard can stop time (time stop), has the most powerful creatures of the multiverse at his beck and call (gate), and can literally create his very own demiplane (genesis). A 20th-level Monk... can use feather fall at-will, but only if he’s next to a wall.

They can also run at, like, 500 feet per round! A 7th-level wizard just uses teleport.

A druid can do it at level 4!  Wildshape into a Cheetah, charge at 10x speed.

Isn't your total attack bonus +7 for your longbow and +5 for your shortsword instead of 0?

[filiusenox]

Fixed it. I've never used an actual char sheet. Just a little notepad thingy. <.<

[GiglameshDespair]

From my noobish overlook:

As far as I can tell your shortsowrd total attack bonus is +6, isn't it? (size+1, str+1, base+3, masterwork+1)
As you're ranger(3) I'd suggested adding your levels in ranger. Your current xp is 3000 because you're level 3.
You have a lot of gold remaining. A cloak of resistance+1 is 1000 gold and gives a +1 to reflex, will, and fortitude, which is apparantly always helpful.
You could probably use a shield with your shortsword for extra AC.
You should probably put what proficiencies in weapons and armour you have e.g. Armour Proficiency (Light)
A cold iron or silver weapon might be useful against various kinds of supernatural beasties.

Combat Finesse allows me to use my dex in attack instead of strength. Unfortunately, it adds a dex penalty if I use a shield. Plus it would take longer to get the bow out and use it. I may get quick draw as a future feat.
And as for the weaponry, I am thinking of adding something like that, but weight limits suck.
Plus I would like to keep my gold for a future enchantment or something cool, as long as the aforementioned weight limits don
't apply to the money. <.<

1. He's got Weapon Finesse. So he adds his dexterity to that.
2. Yes. Please do this.
3. This is pretty solid advice.
4. He has weapon finesse, so this is a bad idea.
5. Takes up unnecessary space, mostly, but it doesn't always hurt.
6. I can support this wholeheartedly. I do this even at level 1, if I can.

Tis the most prevalent reason I play so many high-strength characters .

4. He has weapon finesse, so this is a bad idea.

I don't remember any such clause in Weapon Finesse.

6. I can support this wholeheartedly. I do this even at level 1, if I can.

You sometimes have that much spare cash at level 1?

"If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls."

On very rare occasions, yes.

Also, bolded for emphasis:

With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.

[Culise]

Making a light shield masterwork reduces its armor check penalty to zero and, as a light weapon, also allows its melee bash attack to run off your DEX as well.  ^_^

[Zako]

You can do the same for a buckler if you intend on using your bow at the same time, like me using one with a greatsword.
