My Human is currently Lvl5 Druid and Lvl2 Rogue. I'm thinking of doing either a lvl of fighter or ranger. I'm thinking of the greater range of weapons I would have access to. Would y'all recommend doing this and if yes, which of the 2?

If you want greater range of weapons, and that's it, just take the required feat/feats. Weapons like kamas and kukris require the Exotic Weapon feat, and two handed swords require the Martial Weapons feat. Better to do that, than to potentially lose slots in a class. Now, if you wanted to take five lvls of fighter, and take advantage of the extra feats, that would be a different story.

Also, with three regular classes, you will have to be careful to avoid the experience penalty for classes that are more than 1 level apart. Since your guy is human, the highest-level class is ignored, but the other two count. If you took only one level of fighter for the weapons, then continued to advance only Druid and Rogue, you'd run into trouble once you reached Rogue 3. Because then you'd have Rogue 3/Fighter 1, and those are two levels apart. Therefore, you'd take a 20% hit on experience until you brought them within 1 level of each other.
So, if you are only looking for more weapons, get them with a feat. |

Ok, thanks everybody. I saved and didn't play 'til I got some suggestions. I just have that +2 longbow and some nice arrows now, so I'm thinking to let my summoned creatures run in and I'll stay back and shoot. Now, do I take the Rogue to lvl3 or the Druid to lvl6...

Rogue 3 would give you another d6 of sneak attack, bringing it to 2d6, plus, of course, you get to increment your Rogue skills.
Druid 6 would give you one extra 3rd level spell to cast per day, plus one extra wild shape per day. So, you have to decide which of these is more important to you. |

You should also consider how far you want to go in each class. Some of the rogue skills may come in handy most of the way through the campaign, especially if you are flying solo.
