[QUOTE="Andrew Moreton, post: 7395892, member: 6920268"] Happy to help, I enjoy character optimisation, If I did not I would not offer to help, and all optimisation has to be done around the concept so if you wanted guns I optimise around guns if you don't want guns I don't. If you are using knives and similar weapons Knifemaster is great because it boosts sneak attack ,less good if you want to use other weapons as well. I would not build around throwing weapons in the long term because you need magic weapons at higher level and you can't afford enough magical throwing weapons for them to be any good, it does work at lower level. Your best debuff method is sneak attack after 4th level you give an attack, armour or movement penalty with each sneak attack for free which is great consider the Pressure points, Bleeding attack and crippling strike rogue talants all of them add unpleasent debuffs to your sneak attacks I would go something like 1) Two weapon fighting-- Human Combat expertise 2) RT Weapon training for Weapon Focus 3) Two Weapon feint 4)RT Minor magical talant -Mage hand or prestigitation 5) Double Slice Rogues Edge Acrobatics 6)TWO Rogue talants one from the1/6th level favored class bonus Certainty -- Acrobatics a reroll can be a lifesaver here. Bonus Feat Skill focus Bluff Your charisma is fairly low so the bonus here will help with feint a lot 7 Two weapon defense 8 RT Combat trick Improved two weapon fighting 9 Improved two weapon feint 10 RT Crippling strike After that really its up to you rogue talants like Opportunist and Hide in Plain sight or Major magic (Vanish) feats like Improved Critical I could not tolerate your GM! It took me ages to find decent feat/talant picks which are on his pitifully small allowed list there are many . many more interesting feats and talants available particularly talants. I would have produced a better character in less time with more options [/QUOTE]
