[QUOTE="Rel, post: 981698, member: 99"] I'm a bit of a skill junky myself, so I'd consider it worth the tradeoff to wait an extra level for the (on average) 1 point of damage. Also consider the AC implications if you max out Tumble. Not only are you not suffering too many AoO's for movement, but the AC bonus for Fighting Defensively goes up to +3 and Total Defense goes up to +6. My Halfling Rogue I'm currently playing has been known to use those techniques against some big baddies (ones that I couldn't sneak attack anyway, like a giant zombie snake) to buy time for the heavy hitters to take them down. With your great Dex and Wis, combined with Small size, you would make a perfect companion for the Rogue on scouting missions too. Your extra skill points put into Hiding and Move Silently as well as Spot and Listen will mean that you and the Rogue can work well together stealthily. If you get caught or if you discover a lone adversary, you are the perfect duo to get off Sneak Attacks on the Surprise Round (possibly from range) and then win initiative (high Dex coming into play again) and execute another round of Sneak Attacks. If there's anybody still standing after that, you guys can always flank them. [/QUOTE]
