Very nice--especially that Shadowed Aegis feat! Like the Assault Swordmage needed to be cooler. Spiked chains have reach 2. I really like the look of that Weapon mastery feat!

I'm still not convinced the stat you use to attack makes a measurable impact on your character concept. Sure, you're using Dex to attack, but you're brutally stabbing your dagger into an artery (and adding Str to SA damage!). If you can describe it as a Str-based attack, does it matter if it's...

Really? Horrible? He's playing the character he wants to play, and he's very effective at it. A couple of people (didn't mean a universal "we" there) ragged on him about the idea, but the DM went along with it and now he has a character he's satisfied with. I, personally, find the "dark and...

Oh, I didn't realize you just wanted a magic lamp! Check out the Floating Lantern (AV pg 171). Sunrods are only 2 gp, so those work well enough at low levels.

Absolutely! Again, only if you don't want to ask your GM for Light or buy a magic lantern or something. Dude, it's an imagination game. What's it hurt to say "I'm making that torch shine brightly"? Enjoying yourself? Playing a character concept you came up with? Not letting yourself be...

Whatevs. You're still a thuggish Rogue, so concept fulfilled. Like I said, if you specifically want to have low Dex, be a Ranger and take Chain. Not saying you're wrong, but what is a bow fighter like? I've never seen a build for one, but I thought they just used the fighter bonus feats to...

As I recall, Ari's Advanced Player's Guide Martial Artist did just that-- although I think it was once-per-round limited.

As for skills, you might try following 3.x's lead and letting it have training in all of your trained skills. Be a nice little out-of-combat boost that way. I'd also add something to the effect of it being invulnerable while in your pocket or something. Don't want it getting caught in a stray...

I'd rule you targeted the creature, not the square, so you'd "track" it and could still attack.

Battle Awareness (MP) is very nice, and you qualify easily. It all comes down to whether you'd like to branch out or specialize, and what PP you're interested in, if the game gets that far.

Well, for halflings at least, Second Chance and Lost in the Crowd help to make up for that.

The suspense is killing me!

Yeah, that's fair. I honestly think the game is better overall for not allowing that type of multiclassing, but I can see where that's coming from now.

...At least Scimitar Dance ought to be useful for them? Yeah, it kinda sucks to be a halfling weapon-user. Gnomes are going to get it worse, it looks like, without even a physical stat boost. It might help versimilitude, but that's about it. At least the AV has some good versatile military...

I really like the Assault (free flanking attack! teleporting!) but I think it is a weaker choice mechanically. Still, they're a lot of fun, and can do some nice damage with things like Flame Cyclone and Flame Blade, where you get to add extra ability scores to damage. Pick whatever one seems...

I'd talk with your GM, though. He might allow it anyway if you don't swap powers and/or lose the -2 (although that's really the best part). If all else fails, there's always the spiked chain...

Heh, my Bloodclaw Mord-using barb can use some more sources; that THP gets eaten away pretty fast three at a time. I might just pick this up (although I have trouble remembering the extra attack on a crit already).

Very satisfied. Only suckas bought Martial Power! (well, and beastmaster ranger players, I guess) Seriously, though, Dragon is worth the cost alone, and the Compendium has been incredibly helpful to me. I don't really need the Character Builder, but I can appreciate that it's useful for people...

Why? Not all classes got the spell Light in 3.5. Classes do different things. Also: none, none, and none. -Bow Fighter - None, you play a Ranger, who don't have to have any of that outdoorsy flavor, and who is specifically built around using a bow. -Cleric of Theivery - None, play as a normal...

Re-fluff it. Say, "it's not fire making that light, it's my magical Light spell!" That's if you can't get it normally. Lamenting is boring, real men (and women) take action! If you are unhappy with your character, change it! Make what you want to make! Also, the bolded part is simply crazy...
