At that point, a LV 23 spellcaster isn't worried about the low-level spells (which, of course, at LV 7 are all their spells, and then some).Sounds like what I'm thinking of introducing in my present game - I'm thinking knowledge checks to bypass sneak immunity. Maybe 15 + CR for 1/2 sneak dice; 30+ CR for full sneak dice. Or maybe 10 + 5/sneak die.Crits are a regular feature of combat once the party hits with a significant frequency. Even at, say, a 19-20 crit range and 5 hits per average round, there should be a crit every other round. They still aren't a lot of overall damage, unless you stack a couple crit-improving prestige classes on top of a otherwise crit min/maxed PC.It's been decades, but I played a 1st ed Illusionist in a crypt. On the other hand, 3E Illusionists have a lot of non-illusion spells to choose from. I'd say the Illusionist at very low levels; otherwise, the Rogue (unless it's very trap-heavy). I've never had problems feeling useful as a Druid (above LV 1). At low-mid levels, it's hard to make a non-viable fighter build.Yep; perhaps it's just one of the two that gives me (personally) difficulty. I still think that there are too many high-CR creatures with sneak immunity.I've played a number of games with no Rogue; if you allow other classes to gain Trapfinding (or something to replace it, like summons) one way or another, there's really little essential need for a Rogue.</blockquote>
