It's fine, the PS's are just absurdly overpowered and the PF is sorta underpowered (as in, it's not enough of a fault.) The others will be better at helping you than I will be, though.

Also, you mention being mounted. I take it then you're going for either Nomad Ranger or Healer? That's fine, but be aware you'll pretty much be competing with me directly for a slot. (My character's Trainee->Nomad->Ranger)

[SOLDIER First]

I am indeed going for Ranger; I forgot to put that on the sheet, somehow. _{I wasn't aware there was another archer sheet up.}

[UXLZ]

Reply #65, and another one later on when I mentioned I'd finished it. 'Tis all on Pastebin, so that's why you may have missed it.

[SOLDIER First]

Well, I could easily switch to the Sniper path. Wouldn't really affect anything right now anyway.

[GiglameshDespair]

Personal Fault: Weapon (Mis)Handling: 5% chance, after Hit Chance is calculated, to auto-miss the target.
Personal Skill: Weapon Handling: The character's Weapon Skill is effectively one higher for determining Proficiency Bonus. Does not affect Weapon Skills in Weapon Subcategories.
/Personal Skill: Animal Bond: While Mounted, +15 Eva.
//Personal Skill: We Aren't So Different: When facing Human units, negate the enemy's Personal and Class Skills.

Yeah, these really don't pass muster.

Your personal fault is effectively -5 to hit, but forces FOE to roll more. In comparison, the normal bonus/malus to hit is +/-15.

Weapon handling doesn't make sense. Every weapon is in a subcategory.
Animal bond is aforementioned always on.
We aren't so different apes Parity but is better because it only affects the enemy. Also of questionable value depending if FOE uses PS and class skills for the enemy anyway.

All OP.

The handbook does have a table you can use to make PS/PFs if you're not sure what would be balanced.

[SOLDIER First]

I know about the table, actually. I tried to make some without it.
Obviously that failed.

[UXLZ]

*Shrug* ultimately it'll be up to you. If you wanted, you could even go Thief->Spy (Bow)-> Assassin (Bow). I'm not sure what benefit there actually is in going Sniper. I guess you pick up the ability to use ballistae? I can't remember hat the Sniper's class skills were, I seem to remember not really liking them that much.

As I thought, Gig explained it better than I would have. :v

[GiglameshDespair]

Snipers have S rank in bows, permament =1 range and add the eva/def of terrain to their hit/dam.

[UXLZ]

Oh, they had a bonus to range? I forgot about that one, that's fine.

Assassins also have S-rank, though. :v
And while it goes unmentioned, I'd assume FOE's also going with the "Assassins odn't get access to Bows adn swords thing."

[SOLDIER First]

+1 Range as in "Bows get 2-3 range, Longbows get 2-4 range, etc."?

[GiglameshDespair]

+1 Range as in "Bows get 2-3 range, Longbows get 2-4 range, etc."?

Yeah.

[SOLDIER First]

Nice.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Yeah, snipers can be pretty effective from a good long way away.
