I'm going to start playing in an Oriental Adventures campaign soon, and I'd like some suggestions for creating a 1st level rogue. I know very little about the campaign setting right now, but I'll be doing my homework this weekend. I just wanted some preliminary ideas. Specifically, do you recommend any particular race/feat/etc. that's new to OA?
I'm interested in playing a high Charisma character (I enjoy role-playing likeable people) . Probably human male, but I'm not terribly attached to that. It's a 28 point buy system. Early draft of stats are as follows.
S 10
D 18
C 10
I 10
W 8
Ch 14
I'm thinking of starting off pursuing a missile-weapon feat chain (precise shot, and probably rapid shot). I might consider going the dodge/mobility chain also.
I'll probably pick up a couple of levels of fighter or barbarian at some point, but doubtfully before 5th level.
Skills will be mostly standard (Hide, MS, Tumble, Bluff). I'm thinking about taking a single rank in Open Locks and Disable Device (since I'm likely going to be taking 20 on these anyways.)
I might make my Con 9 and my Str 11. That way, I can boost my Str to 12 at 4th level (by which time I'll likely be able to afford a Mighty bow, or at least be able to survive a little bit of melee combat). I can boost my Con at 8th level if I decide to get more involved in melee. Hopefully my Dex and high Ref saves will keep me out of trouble.
Thanks for all your advice.
