Drow Sniper (CB)

Description
 Fighter 12 /Wizard 1 / Arcane archer 9 / Assassin 8

The Drow Sniper is an evil master of ranged attacks who is able hide himself in the shadows after successfully hitting her target. She has a high BAB and is able to deliver up to 7 Arrows in a single Round. Most notably, the Assassin levels offer Hide in plain sight and Death Attack + 4D6.

Due to the high INT, the Drow Sniper is not only able to max out Hide, Move Silently, Spellcraft and Intimidate but also sports two other nearly maxed-out skills.

Compared to other archer builds, the big difference is the ability to hide herself.

Why these Race and Classes?
A Drow is the ideal race for an evil sniper, not only flavorwise: Fighter:
 * The Drow gets DEX+2, INT+2, CHA +2 bonuses, where DEX is needed for a high AB and INT is used to get a wide spectrum of skills. CHA is pretty irrelevant in this build.
 * Prefered Class: Wizard. This allows for zero XP penalties with efficient class progression.
 * WIS-2: Unfortunately, the Will save is the worst in this build and low Wisdom doesn't help at all with this issue.
 * Spell Resistance of 11+
 * high BAB progression
 * high HP
 * lots of feats, in particular Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Focus, Epic Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Greater Weapon Specialization and Epic Weapon Specialization which improve Damgage and the Chance to hit

Arcane archer:
 * high BAB progression
 * Enhance arrow +5
 * Hail of arrows
 * Hide and Move Silently as Class Skills

Assassin:
 * Hide in Plain Sight

 * Requirement for Arcane Archer
