Rogues - what do you do against undead and constructs?

[Doug McCrae]

Just get Undead Bane, Holy Daggers (+4d6 to most evil undead) to get by while you are in this necropolis. Maybe a Ghost Touch Undead Bane for the occasional incorporeal undead.

At level 6? Expected wealth for that level is 13,000gp. An undead bane holy ghost touch weapon costs 50,000gp.

No.. I said a Holy Undead Bane Weapon (total +4, 32K) and/or Undead Bane Ghost Touch Weapon (+3 total, 18k). I was giving options, since I do not know the types of undead primarily involved (maybe lots of different ones).

And on the subject of cost, loaner from temples or town they are saving, NPC has a family heirloom...etc. If the DM is throwing the characters into a basic situation where they are vastly under-powered (as stated above), then the DM ought to make up that balance elsewhere. Anyway, hard to guess the entire picture based upon the limited info.

Whatever happened to 'this necropolis is too dangerous, let's go somewhere else'? That's what I would be saying if I were the rogue in the group you described.

Or, you could do the whole thing solo... sneak in (I hope you have darkvision), grab the loot, and sneak out. That's how Indiana Jones would do it! Of course, something would go horribly wrong and he'd have to run like hell. Too bad you're a halfling ;-)

Augment Crystals. One to SA undead, one to SA Constucts, One to SA Plants, and one to rule them all.

FIFY, but where do these augment crystals come from?

A problem that a character of mine encountered all too often. I solved it with interesting items. I constantly threw alchemist's fire, acid flasks, holy water, tanglefoot bags, etc.. Basically anything with a mundane effect that might prove better than my awesome 1d3 throwing dagger damage.

I endorse this message.

Either back out and regroup, getting more appropriate weaponry (fire and holy water are good) and backup ("we need a war party of clerics to see us through the necropolis! Who's with us?") or go the long way round.

So what's a rogue to do in this situation?

The same thing as a fighter encountering a monster with unbeatable DR, or a wizard against a creature immune to magic: let someone else take the spotlight and shine.

Pick up a level of wizard or Sorcerer and keep Magic Missile memed in all your slots

Disruption weapon?
