CIP GrFi of Ash. Unsure of how to proceed.
So I have a character with potential but no real idea of how to get where I want him to go. Mostly I'm wondering when to start working on spellcasting, and how long Storm Bow will remain a viable superweapon. Because I am slaughtering all of the things. At range. It's pretty amazing. I really want my utility spells though, and Ash seems like a great god to get that for me.
So I have never used Ash before, I have never played a ranged character at length before (who wasn't a slinger of Trog), and I'm unsure how/when to get spells up without making melee ineffective. Advice would be awesome!!
