Welcome to Gaia! ::

I enjoy bow rangers. They have their place. krahken, you gotta think OUTSIDE of combat as well.

Problem: Weapon Focus takes a +1 BAB, and Rogues get 3/4ths BAB. Two more levels until he can get that, until then, I'd suggest something to help him stay alive longer.

EDIT:
Myth-Weavers is weird in the way of skills. Any skills that are Class-Skills need to be left unchecked.
Next, Speed needs to be filled in, as well as the age, and alignment
I'd get some arrows for that long bow.
For a feat? Point Blank Shot. You need to be within 30 feet for Sneak Attack anyways, so why not improve your chances?

The problem with a rogue going into melee is the whole lack of any good armor, and/or the need for high Dexterity.
As for a weapon, and stacking it onto Weapon Focus, I'd go Rapier. That way at 3rd level he can chose Weapon Finesse, then at 6th level, Weapon Focus.
Damage won't be that great, but he will depend on sneaking around, and Backstabbing, literally, for as much damage as possible. Sure he won't be dishing out constantly high damage, like a Fighter, nor will he be completely safe in battle. But that's what he's sacrificing.

Personally, I would've suggested going Crossbow (repeating if possible) for the main weapon, then some kind of melee for a back-up should he need it.

never played D&D and don't have any books (am reading an online scoure material on 3.5 that I found here.)

so my question is this;

any good template that a DM and myself or others can quickly read and understand?

If you're playing in person, the book has a copy of the character sheet in the very very back. You can also likely find it by google image searching the edition and "character sheet". If you can print it, way to go! Online, there's websites like Myth Weavers, The Tangled Web, Coyote Code, and probably more that I haven't seen. You have to sign up to the website but that's all they ask of you.

When I play, I usually hand-write my sheet because I prefer my own format. But for people new to the game, I suggest using a standard template. It's less of a matter of YOU using a template format that's easy to read. It's more of EVERYONE using the same template format that's easy to read. Consistency is key. If the DM wants to see what your skill bonus for, say, Knowledge: History is without outright asking you, he or she should be able to find it on the same spot on everyone's sheet.

that's not how it works. the con modifier doesn't effect your hit dice, it effects your hit points. And, you always have a minimum of +1 to your Hp each level, it can't drop lower than that.

To quote from the SRD:

You apply your character’s Constitution modifier to:

Each roll of a Hit Die (though a penalty can never drop a result below 1—that is, a character always gains at least 1 hit point each time he or she advances in level).

So for your fighter, you'd roll a d10. Say you rolled a 5, with your Con mod of -1, that would make your HP a 4.

However, if you rolled a 1, your con mod would not be able to drop it to 0.

Is that clearer?
