[QUOTE="greycastle, post: 941354, member: 11130"] well...if a player is willing to not gain +10 favor bonus, or hide in plain site...and considering most campaigns will have more than enough humans... a Ranger 15/Rogue 5 is already good for one who only needs 3 favored enemies and +6 bonus, then a Rogue 7/ Ranger 13 is incredible... from using 3.5 info and 3.0, you get - 3 favored enemies (+6, +4, +2) - sneak attack +4d6 - ability to sneak at best, disable traps, open locks etc well (and if using a homerule that you can take skills you know by advancing in any class) *though if rogue1/fighter 2 and take another level of fighter, you can advance rogue skills, but you still only get 2 + int bonus skill points per level* - effective melee and ranged fighterish character - the possible ability (if ranks are spent) to use wands and scrolls (though ineffectively :S) - Evasion, Uncanny Dodge, 4 attacks per round (up to 7!!! if you take the two weapon fighting tree) from those statistics alone, it seems effective...but what would i know...
