[QUOTE="Steve Gorak, post: 6543621, member: 15132"] Ok, here is the first stab at my character. As I mentioned before, it's been a while since I played 3.5, so apologies if I made mistakes. I'm still hesitating between monk and rogue as the 1st level class, so this is a work in progress. I'm trying to use the crazy high dex with combat reflexes and with a spiked chain (non-proficient, for the moment) to make a squishy dex-based melee character that can still pack a punch (or punches, with flurry of blows ;-) and be playable until I can get past the LA. I'm thinking that while invisible, combat reflexes could come in very handily, especially while flying and a 10 ft reach. Since flight maneuverability is "good", the character can hover, so he could wait invisible as enemies maneuver by, hit them with the spiked chain using combat reflexes (6 times/round!) from above, and if they get too close, flurry them with kicks (or use stunning fist). I may end up lowering the strength to increase the intelligence to get more skill points (the reason why I'm tempted by rogue); I'm not sure. I'm thinking that this will be more of a support character/party scout, so I'm thinking that skill points are important. Anyways, feedback is much appreciated and please feel free to suggest background hooks!
