Character Creation Rules:
[spoiler]Starting level 13, 40PB. Max HP. WBL as normal.
If your character uses Persist Spell or takes levels in DweomerKeeper/Incantatrix/Shadowcraft Mage. They are too powerful. If they are a full caster with other PrCs, they are fine. If they can compete on that level, they are fine.
Polymorph doesn't exist. If you have an LA race you want to play, let me know and I'll tell you what it counts as/changes to reduce it's LA. Also tell me what you like about it and why you want it.
As for the plot. A crazy dungeon has appeared that ate several level 9-11 parties without a trace. You guys are people who want to look into this for whatever reason.
This dungeon is hardcore. It takes into account things like teleport/earthglide/X ray vision/ect. Instead of arbitrarily banning them like WLD or that one FR mountain.
Almost forgot: Feats: Two flaws at level 1 (technically optional, but whatever) two feats at level 1. One at every odd level after. Yes, Humans suck with this. But there are enough other races to choose from.[/spoiler]
I have a basic build, most feats, a couple other things done. I mostly want critiquing.
Whisper Gnome Ranger 1/Soulknife 2/Ranger +2/Soulbow 1/Horizon Walker 4/Soulbow +3 (Continuing Horizon Walker 3/Soulbow 4. I don't know about Epic, but i don't think the campaign is going into 21+)
Now, this gives me lots of feats. Currently...
1: Point Blank ShotPHB
1: Precise ShotPHB
3: Psionic ShotXPH
5: Psionic MeditationXPH
7: Zen ArcheryCW
9: Greater Psionic ShotXPH
11: Penetrating ShotPHB2
13: ??
Bonus feats look like this:
1: (Ranger) Track
2: (Soulknife) Wild Talent
2: (Soulknife) Weapon Focus: Mindblade
4: (Ranger) Combat Style: Rapid Shot
5: (Ranger) Endurance)
6: (Soulbow) Fell Shot
13: (Soulbow) Improved Precise Shot
Currently, this means that I have a to-hit of +22/+17/+12, +20/+20/+15/+10 if using rapid shot, +21/+21/+16/+11 if within 30'. I deal 1d6+9 damage, +1d6 shock for the first target in the line. So, i need to increase the damage. Having Manyshot means I can psionically focus for a +4d6 on the first attack and still have 3, albeit at +18/+18/+13. Or i can make a single touch attack to only the first guy in line. With my massive to-hit, that seems unneeded, but nice to have.
I am buying a Belt of Battle, a Periapt of Wisdom +6, A Cloak of Displacement (Minor) and +2 Glamered Mithral Chain Shirt. This leaves me with 30200, but it's easy enough to drop a +1 from the Armour and have enough for a +1 Splitting Longbow (32225). Is that investment worth it?
For stats, since i realize i haven't done those yet...
Str: 10(-2 Racial)
Dex: 15(+2 Racial) (+1)
Con: 14(+2 Racial)
Int: 14
Wis: 18 (+2) (+6 Magic)
Cha: 10(-2 Racial)
Thus, Wisdom is 26, +8. Is Monks Belt worth getting for the wisdom bonus to AC?
tl;dr? Basically, I need Equipment and more damage for a level 13 Soulbow.
