I am trying to build an ultimate hunter.

The concept is a fast moving, lightly armoured, duel weapon wielding warrior. A hunter comfortable in city or rural settings, able to track, bypass traps and use knowledge of his prey to the greatest effect.

I want this to an npc type, not an individual so want to avoid unique factors. Also I will want them to be associated with the Red Wizards so need to avoid arcane classes.

It needs to work at all character levels rather than being a specific build.

I was thinking of starting with:
Rogue for 2 levels, Ranger for 3 levels, then Bloodhound PrC.
Probably with a varient of arcane schooling to allow wand use.

Anyone have a better idea?

Do not try to understand the 4th edition. Thats impossible. Instead...only try to realise the truth. There is no 4th edition.

Actually, if you replace the Rogue 2 with Barbarian 3, you do get Trap Sense and Uncanny Dodge, plus the Rage ability.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

I like it

But is uncanny dodge better than evasion for an npc?

Nope, but that's what a Ring of Evasion is for...

If you have access to it the 'Game of Thrones D20' game (based on George R.R. Martin's amazing Song of Ice and Fire novels) has a Hunter base class that is pretty awesome.
