[QUOTE="BASHMAN, post: 3443552, member: 8277"] Here is some good options: Artificer (eberron)-- focus on imbuing items with magical abilities. He'd basically be the party magic item factory. If he is a Warforged (living construct race from eberron) he can imbue himself with magical abilities. He gets trapfinding just like a rogue. Beguiler-- PH2-- Essentially an illusionist/Enchanter who gets trapfinding, has d6HD, wears leather armor, 6 Skill points per level, and instead of sneak attacks, has spells become more effective when enemy is denied dex bonus (like ignoring SR, etc). Ninja-- Complete Adventurer-- VERY cool class. A lot of people dismiss it outright because "sudden strike is more limited than sneak attack". Normally, this would be true-- the Dread Commando for instance is always running into hurdles trying to get to use Sudden Strike. However, for the ninja, it is VERY easy to utilize it, as he can become INVISIBLE, several times a day, and later even etherial. So he is guaranteed to succeed in sudden strike several times a day. Ninja also has 6 skill points, and is more combat focused than the traditional Rogue, but also has trapfinding. Scout-- This is what I would choose in your situation. 8 skill points per level, movement speed and initiative increases, does extra d6s of damage any round he moves 10' or more. Has trapfinding of course. If you take the track feat, he is better than a ranger as the party's wilderness person. There are 2 primary builds for scout that work great: The melee skirmisher-- take the spring attack feat tree, and use a 2-handed weapon and charge into combat, moving between various enemies on the battlefield. The archer skirmisher-- take the manyshot feat tree, and use a bow. You can move while doing manyshot! [/QUOTE]
