[QUOTE="Laslo Tremaine, post: 5108122, member: 330"] Hey gang. My Arcane Trickster just hit 18th lvl ((Rog3/Wiz[Ill]5/ArT10). In our group he is the only Rogue, so his infiltration skills are very important. He was one of two Arcane casters (the other was a Sorcerer), but the other one died and the player made a new character that is some sort of divine Warlock. So now he is the only arcane caster (Illusionist with Evocation and Necromancy given up), so those abilities are equally important. I have two issues. One that is immediate, and one that is swiftly looming. Let's take the looming one first, since it is most important.... What character class should I take next? I would like something that will advance both rogue and Arcane abilities. Right now the only thing that seems to fit the bill is Daggerspell Mage. Unfortunately my guy is a rapier wielder, and dual dagger use is not really in his future. And the fact that he would lose a level of arcane casting is a drawback. Can anyone suggest a prestige class that fits the bill? Any source could be usable, including home-brewed if it is reasonably balanced. The second issue is what feat he should take at 18th level. Nothing is really calling out to me... His current feat selection is; Improved Initiative, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot (he uses lots of ray spells), Stealthy, Weapon Finesse, Scribe Scroll, Silent Spell, and Arcane Strike. I am leaning toward Mobile Spellcasting, but am also entertaining Razing Strike (constructs). But like I said, neither of those is really singing to me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
