[QUOTE="jokeaccount, post: 5453204, member: 6669621"] Hi I'm new to D&D, have played like 10 sessions so far, and since our DM had the 3.5 books we started on that. Im a rogue 5/1 fighter so far and aiming for the Shadowlord Prestige. We got to lvl 7 last night and we now have to decide what to do. I had in mind getting one more lvl as fighter for the extra feat+attack bonus and that's what the DM suggested but i looked up some stuff and found out that if i get one lvl of Shadowdancer i can get the Hide in plain sight ability which will boost my sneaking alot, but i will NOT put more levels onto the shadowdancer. Its just for the Hide in plain sight. I talked about this with the DM and he said there are some major problems with that decision. a) I will lose the attack bonus for that level (since SHDancer has the bad one) which will eventually weaken me later. Also i'll be losing about 25% xp after some levels (with the multiple classes thing) except if i get the feat for extra favored class (i'm human so i already got one). Also if i go for the fighter level, i am a bit stuck on what extra feat to get. I am between Staggering strike and Hamstring but that's mainly what i saw on the internet :S. PS: The feats i have are Mobility,Dodge, Blind Fight, Spring attack (Shadowlord requirements). I have 2-wep fighting. PPS: At lvl 8 i will probably spend it getting the Shadowalker template for the shadowlord and lvl 9 will be first shadowlord lvl. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
