Message: <blockquote data-quote="tglassy" data-source="post: 7070567" data-attributes="member: 6855204">Here's what I'm thinking for build.  Going with what I said earlier, a Dessert Rider Sa'Luk Machanician with the Flippant Charm feature rather than Dessert Rider feature.  I'd like his main weapon to be a Shamsir, and for it to be a Genie Slayer.  It'll be my Rare item.  I saw where a Shamsir is basically a slashing rapier, 1d8, finesse, etc.  It's perfect for the look I'm going for.  He'd also have a dagger, at least, and likely dual wield, but I'm thinking about that.Taking the Actor Feat at level 4 and Mounted Combat at level 8.  I realized that Mounted Combat gives advantage to attack rolls on non mounted creatures, which gives sneak attack, plus being able to have the horse disengage and do 'drive by sneak attacks'.  Not sure how often it'll be viable, but I plan on having my horse with me anytime we're out and about, so... Means I can't get a 20 in dex, but hey, an 18 is still respectable, and expertise will make up the difference.  And I like having as many ways as possible to get advantage/sneak attack.Hat of disguise and actor work great together, and the Ring of Mind Shielding helps sell it.   It also makes him cocky.  Which could be a problem.  As for his other uncommon magical item, I'm now debating between Gloves of Thievery and an Aba of the Dessert.  On the one hand, the gloves will make it so he can't roll less than a 27 on Sleight of Hand checks.  On the other, the Aba of the Dessert will up his survivability, and I feel that's a big part of his character.  Survival.  Thoughts?I'll post his character sheet here in a bit, once I've written it up.Edit: Actually, I'll take Mounted Combat at the next level.  I'd rather have the 20 on Dex for now.</blockquote>
