My preliminary setup for a multiclassed fighter / sorcerer / arcane archer to play through SoU on very difficult with. My last character was a crossbow using sorcerer / RDD and although his magic was powerful I felt the bow was lacklustre (albeit necessary at times). I decided to do things differently for this character and flip it around, so he will have a much more powerful bow but less powerful magic (actually the magic will be just as powerful, but will develop slower and be behind the curve compared to the sorcerer / RDD).

I chose fighter class for my first level, to get the feats necessary for arcane archer and to be eligible for weapon specialization feats later on. I went for elf as my race, elves or half-elves are the only races that can be arcane archer. The character stats I pick would be poor for a standard fighter, as the strength and con are too low, but for the archer / sorcerer I intend to become they're good. It's similar to my last character but I put more in dex and less in con.

Note - having taken this character up to 40 I would recommend putting 2 more in strength and 2 less in dex than what I did here. Reason being that strength factors into longbow damage (I didn't know that at the time, having used crossbows prior). Arcane Archer will give you a boost in attack, so the loss of 2 dex shouldn't be an issue, though that will shave 1 off your AC. Personally I'd take extra damage over extra defense, but that's just me, your mileage may vary.
