[QUOTE="Majere, post: 1637494, member: 13916"] Depends what you want your rogue to do. If he is the only rogue in the party you should be aware that cross classing will hurt your open locks, search, and disable device. ~In the end failing the disable device by 1 has as good a chance of killing you as not having the 4 hp (on average) that you would get from two levels of fighter. If other people tend to do these jobs, or your campeign is all outdoors and not trap intensive, then it depends on your character concept. For a fighting rogue, I would possibly suggest a level of sorcerer with shield and true strike, followed by fighter levels where you take bow feats. Your hp are far to low for you to seriously consider melee combat too much, but with a want of improved invis and a decent bow you are away, you should already have the high dex and str to make a solid archer with a +1 aciding (mighty [+4])Longbow, and you arent wating your sneak attack damage. If you do decide to go a mroe melee route (not a wise decision with low hp), take a level in rogue for opportunist and then fighter up the line for the feats. Another possibility, it to take levels in mage and then in arcane trickster. Its very hard to give concreate advice without knowing a little more about what you want from the character and your group/campeign. Majere [/QUOTE]
