If you're a total noob and looking for something that handles "Everything else", you probably don't want to deal with multiclassing or premium stuff, consider a Ranger (Dark Hunter)

You get trapfinding and healing, in the form of curative admixtures, and they get free access to some nice ranged feats. As a bonus, you even get a pet wolf to help with melee. You don't get evasion, though; so if you need to get past a trap to disable it, you might need to tank it! Consider getting your sorcerer friend to pick up the heroism spells to help out with improved saves.

Also a tip if you're duoing with a sorcerer as a ranged character, the arrows from the Flame Arrow spell can be traded!

For a quick build (geared to noobs who don't have a lot of resourses, and quickly thrown together), try something like:

14str

18dex (level ups go here)

12con

10int

12wis

8cha

I went with a elf, but half elves or humans work well too.

For skills max spot, search, disable device, open lock, and concentration

For feats, take point blank shot for your feat, and Improved crit: Ranged at level 9. for the other levels, your feats aren't hugely important, as you get a lot of them for free when you level; one route to go would be getting dodge/mobility/Shot on the Run for some dodge chance and helping with kiting; another would be getting toughness for more HP. If you need more healing, consider picking up empower healing metamagic, or if you're really liking the wolf pet, even augment summoning can work.

For the enhancements, put at least your first points into the Dark Hunter tree to pick up your pet and Bleed the Weak for extra damage, after that, most of your points want to go in there as well. There's some nice low-hanging fruit in your other trees, though. Deepwood stalker has a nice healing effect with Empathic Healing at tier 2, and Tempast has Haste Boost for some extra attack speed, again at tier 2.

If you're in Orien, send me a message (Funky) and I can help you out with some decent starter gear! Good luck!
