He's also got a magical rapier that allows him to crit on a 19 or 20.In the game I'm currently playing in (at 6th level), our halfling rogue (AT) mixes it up between melee with her daggers and ranged with her crossbow, depending on the situation.I do agree the rules as-written heavily favor the ranged rogue. That's why I try to add things (like the rogue's magical rapier or my house-rule Knife Master feat) that give rogues reasons to mix it up in melee more.</blockquote>
