[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1387509, member: 9990"] Go with a high saves build to protect yourself in the future. Multiclass into three or four classes to get a lot going for you with utility. Be a high-dex, high-cha ranged guy, with a level in Bard (reputation for singing & humming during battle), one or more in cleric for healing and more saves, a few in fighter for the HP at 1st level and the feats, then continue on in Rogue. You won't be the toughest guy out there, but if you take the Rapid Shot tree of feat progressions you will get out more shots to dole out damage. The BAB wouldn't be that high, but you would sink skill points into Tumble so you can move freely in a combat (in case melee guys try to jump you) to heal downed party members or get into position for a backstab. Train yourself up to get some poison for those ranged attacks too, and get some interesting things going with those . Again, you wouldn't be a powerhouse but a more utilitarian for the rest of the party. Your levels in rogue would play to your advantage with the special abilities, and bard would be good for social situations. With a level or two of cleric you would be able to heal more plus turn the low level undead that might annoy you because they can't be sneak-attacked. Or you could go for the old, small peasant-looking guy that is a master of judo and tosses opponents around as a pure monk. Or you could go the pure Bard route and build something vicious around tripping or disarming with a whip. [/QUOTE]
