[QUOTE="Matafuego, post: 1282704, member: 4172"] I don't know how Point Buy works (ever since I started playing ADnD roling for ability scores was the way to go, and as a DM I have come up with some weird and interesting methods for rolling, and I also love characters with big stats and big big weaknesses, mwahahahaha) With regards to the class I would go for the Rogue, it's almost undispensable for a Dungeon Crawling Party (specially since you know it will be Trap Heavy). My last Rogue was a Halfling one, a Spider-loving Halfling, kinda like a Small Spider-Man (¿a Spider-Ling?), but since Halfling is too cliché you may also consider another race (I dislike Elves but they seem to be the next best choice, High Dex is very important for Dungeon Crawling) I would throw another good score at intelligence so as to get as many maxed out Rogue Skills as you can(very very helpful) I would max out Search and Disable Device (traps traps traps!!). And then it depends to you, the Halfling had Maxed Out Listen, Spot, Move Silently, Use Magic Device (very important when the Cleric is down and you have a Wand of CLW), Jump (He was a Spider-Manish remember..., plus he had some creepy jumping ring), Climb, Open Lock and Tumble (he got Pick Pockets, now I seem to recall it's called differently, later on when he increased his intelligence) Always remember that Sneak Attacking is very very important (specially when it's something like +4d6) so I recommend getting a good melee (flanking!!) and a good ranged weapon (it works up to 30ft but only when surprising, no flanking there) I wish someone could offer you some more help ;) And the most important thing is that you are comfortable and like the character! Don't play a Rogue if you don't feel like it, play whatever you want and if things go wrong at least you had a good time ;) [/QUOTE]
