If you're going to focus more on rider effects than on straight damage, then the situation is slightly better, but only slightly, and your (pre-edit) indication that Small works against you seems to contraindicate this approach anyway. If you're going for straight DPR, Paizo materials simply do not provide the tools necessary to get level-appropriate amounts of damage out of a bow. Either way, your problem isn't with being mounted, it's with being an archer. If you're restricted to first-party material only, your only options are to reskin something that can actually do ranged DPR and just say you're using a bow to do it, or just give up. Requirements are Archery( bow or crossbow preferred, firearms if they offer vastly superior options) and a mount of Medium size or smaller. On definition of "viable": my group doesn't straight-up powerplay, but there is some optimization going on thus I'm fine with this character not being optimal, but I need some efficiency.Īs reference for the damage I'm looking for: adding the slayer's sneak attack every 2 turns, using typical archery feats such as manyshot and/or rapid shot, can be considered ideal (not counting third party material) I expect I won't reach this peak, since I'll get riding feats, but I'm looking for ways to get close to that. Is there a way to fill the damage dealer role with this kind of concept?
I've been looking for ways to ramp up the damage, mostly through sneak attack, but couldn't find any reliable way to deal sneak attack damage. Thank you to gatherer818 for mentioning the UnderSized Mount feat.
I've been trying to build an archer mounting a medium ride, however I haven't been able to make such a build "viable".
