This is my first time actually playing DND I've been around friends who've talked about it a lot and I've been playing around with the character builder a lot but thought I could get some help on building my Gloomstalker.
Race: Wood Elf Background: Athlete (got acrobatics and medicine out of it) -proficiencies- athletics, survival, nature
Abilities: (we rolled for stats) Strength 16, Dex- 21 (rolled an 18 +2 for elf and got a magic potion that increased it 1), Con 15, Int 15, Wisdom 17 (rolled 16 plus 1 for wood elf) cha 14. I probably should have put the 16 on Con.
currently level 4 (Feat sharpshooter)
-I did not take the optional features at the beginning because I didn't know there were there so fav enemy dragons (with draconic) and artic.
-weapons and armor: a +1 longbow, 2 short swords (1 is a +1), I still have my original bow, I picked up a whip, leather armor
I plan to multiclass at level 6. The current thought is to take 15/16 levels of Ranger. I want to take 4 levels in Fighter (to get the ASI/feat instead of stopping at level 3), and my first thought was I wanted to take Arcane Archer to fit the archery abilities that I already have, but I see a lot of people aren't fond of the arcane archer. I have gotten a recommendation to take Samurai to get a built-in ability to give myself an advantage. I also thought taking Echo Knight could be fun.
I am currently planning to take Two-weapon fighting as my fighting style so when I get in a melee situation I can do extra damage with my second sword.
I have also considered taking 1 level is something else along with the levels in fighter (possibilities I've thought of: 1) Life cleric for more spells/"Lifeberry", 2) twilight cleric- for better night vision, advantage blessing, some extra spell abilities, 3) barbarian- rage and unarmored defense, 4) monk for better unarmored-defense for this build)
My Party has a Human Vengence Paladin, Teifling Moon Druid, Dhampir College of Eloquence Bard, Forest Gnome Arcane Trickster Rogue, Dragonborn Battlemaster Fighter, and a Half-orc Wizard (not all party members are at each session)
Samurai is the best option specifically for that at-will advantage, and if you go that route, you must take elven accuracy for maximum output in damage. Then, in any given combat, the most optimal usage of your turn is to use action surge to take advantage of dread ambusher along with fighting spirit activated.

Hello everyone,
