Kensai Mechanisniper 8/6/6 Rge/Ftr/Rng

[Goldain]

This is a cool concept build, but not sure if level 1 of 3 different prestige classes will gimp the build or whether it can be effective. The primary focus is being an effective trapmonkey with respectable ranged damage and some decent survivability. It takes advantage of the Half-Elf Dilettante Artificer Feat to grant the crossbow proficiencies. Seems to have some other nice freebies from Rogue and Ranger which play into the build. Would love any feedback.
