Hoping to get my computer fixed this weekend (or at least before the game takes off).

Think I've decided to go with an archer type character. I noticed that in the Advanced Player's Guide there are two different builds for such a character, one as a alternate fighter (archer) and another as a monk (zen archer). A zen archer might be an interesting way to go.

Of course, if it turns out there are quite a bit of martial type characters I'd be more than happy to try and fill another role.
