[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1286019, member: 13098"] Well, one of the things that is kind of funny about EN World is that the folks here aren't too eager to tell you what kind fo character you should play. But, once you have figured out the character, they can help you create it as efficiently as possible. At least, that is my observation. That being said... You say a Drow eh? Spell resistance is good, but you are sacrificing 2 levels to get it. You are looking at a SR of 13. Rogue and fighter are not preferred classes, so you will need to advance both of them at pretty much the same rate to avoid any exp penalties. Fortunately, this is a dungeon, so you won't need to worry as much about your light vulnerability. Stats - Don't worry about maxing out Str, you will be using Sneak Attack to compensate. If it is a mega dungeon crawl, without much NPC interaction, then you don't need Cha, or CHA based skills too much. High Dex is a necessity. High Int keeps you developing more skills. It sounds like you get to add your 6 points after your point buy and before your racial mods. You should be able to come up with a pretty good build if you use the 6 bonus points to push you up in the top of the scores. As a sample, look at this: [code] Stat Pt Buy Bonus Racial Total Str: 12 (4 pts) 12 Dex: 15 (8 pts) +3 +2 20 Con: 14 (6 pts) -2 12 Int: 15 (8 pts) +3 +2 20 Wis: 14 (6 pts) 14 Cha: 8 (0 pts) +2 10 [/code] Feats - You will have a 1st level feat that you can use on Two-Weapon fighting (Since it doesn't have a BAB req) For your 1st Fighter Feat, I would seriously consider Weapon Finesse so you can use your Dex bonuses to hit. Skills - I would probably maximize skills over HP. Take your 1st level in Rogue to get the 1st level x4 bonus on the skills. This will give you (8 + 5) x4 = 52 skill points at 1st level. You could choose to max out 13 skills. Remember that with each level of fighter, you can bump your jump and climb, so don't spend too many skill points on those with your rogue levels after 1st. Not much of a start, but let's see if this starts to suit your needs and if anyone else wants to add to it. [/QUOTE]
