[QUOTE="rowport, post: 2469526, member: 9729"] Mallus- I think you have a pretty solid skeleton plan already. I would suggest: Ranger 2/Rogue 2/Barbarian 1 with next level of Barbarian planning entry into the Duelist PrC (Dread Pirate would be restricted for you, since it is in Complete Adventurer not DMG). That gives you: Rage, Combat Style (Two-Weapon), Sneak Attack +1d6, Evasion, and loads of skill points. If you go with the PrC, multiclass XP penalties are not a problem for any race; otherwise, go Human or Halfling and increase Rogue levels keeping Ranger and Barbarian level and lower. Either way, the synergies with light armor pretty much require a DEX-based fighting style, so keep that DEX up. With that background: Feats might include Extra Rage and Extra Favored Enemy to max out the benefit of Barbarian and Ranger without full levels in either. You could also consider Able Learner to get the benefit of the Ranger-y skills in your Rogue levels, and your Rogue-y skills in Barbarian and Ranger levels. :) Obviously, sneaky skills work with all of them- but remember Survival and Open Lock/Disable Device. The various Two-Weapon Fighting Feats are all solid; with your light armor, Two-Weapon Defense is a good idea. ... I just realized: can you use all these nifty feats, or are you totally restricted to PHB?? That makes a *big* difference! :) [/QUOTE]
