Well, here’s a stab at a strength-based Arcane Archer. While it’s not the best build in the world, it could turn out to be fun to play. And it’ll take full advantage of those nice Mighty +19 bows. Strong Archer Half-Elf - Figher/Bard/AA Subrace: None | Start | 40 | 60 | Buff | Str | 18 | 34 | 48 | 60 | Dex | 8 | 8 | 8 | 20 | Con | 16 | 16 | 16 | 28 | Wis | 8 | 8 | 8 | 20 | Int | 12 | 12 | 12 | 12 | Cha | 8 | 8 | 8 | 20 |
F 1 Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus (Longbow) F 2 Blind Fight F 3 Toughness F 4 Weapon Specialization (Longbow) F 6 Power Attack, Cleave F 8 Great Cleave F 9 Improved Critical (Longbow) AA 12 Great Fortitude AA 15 Iron Will AA 18 Lightning Reflexes AA 21 Armor Skin AA 24 Great Strength I, Overwhelming Critcal (Longbow) AA 27 Great Strength II AA 28 Epic Weapon Focus (Longbow) AA 30 Great Strength III AA 32 Epic Poweress AA 33 Great Strength IV AA 36 Great Strength V, Epic Reflexes AA 39 Great Strenth VI B 40 Discipline, Tumble LL 41-60 Great Strength 7-10 Epic Will Epic Fortitude Free Feat If I've done the math right, this build should have at level 40 using +15ac items, fullplate, haste, dex mod of 1, AC 93, AB 67.

Frankly, not having ANY dex on an archer build seems absolutely insane to me.
How about this build? I think it's more viable as it has high AB and AC. It can use +12 Mighty bows with +12 STR
Aquatic Elf
Bard 5/RDD 8/AA 7
Bard 6/RDD 10/AA 24
STR 14 [22] DEX 18 (20) [50] CON 14 [20] WIS 8 [8] INT 10 (8) [10] CHA 8 [10]
HP 950
Pre-Epic Bard 5/RDD 8/AA 7
01 Point Blank Shot 03 Rapid Shot 06 Weapon Focus (Longbow) 09 Toughness 12 Improved Critical (Longbow) 15 Blind Fighting 18 Weapon Finesse
Epic (Bard 6/ RDD 10/ AA 24) 21 Epic Weapon Focus (Longbow) 22 Last RDD level 24 Armor Skin 27 Great Dexterity I 29 Great Dexterity II 30 Great Dexterity III 33 Great Dexterity IV / Great Dexterity V 36 Great Dexterity VI 37 Great Dexterity VII 39 Great Dexterity VIII 40 Skill dump into bard

If it were me, I'd move the 4 Great Con feats to pre-LL, switching them with 4 Great Dex feats ...

great con feats taken in LL don't give retrograde bonuses to health, they have to be taken pre-LL to be effective

The Cons will help your fort saves though no matter when you take them (wish I read this earlier though) I just blew my build AGAIN!!
