To answer Jasperak's questions about rogues
My attack bonus: +1 from level (2), +1 to attack for daggers with rogue, +3 proficiency, + 4 dex, +2 from combat advantage (usually) and +1 from nimble blade when I have combat advantage. +12 to hit. Since I can attack AC or reflex, I almost never miss with combat advantage.
Damage: 1d4 for dagger (average 2-3) , +4 for dex, +2d8+2 for sneak attack (average 11). This is about 17-18 damage. A bit less than I previously guessed. I could deal more with a short sword (+1 damage average) but I prefer the +1 to hit since it increases my chance of getting the 2d8+2 sneak attack. I have also ditched powers that deal extra weapon damage in favor of those that grant me combat advantage, since these set the target up for more sneak attack damage next round.
But don't feel bad about your dwarven fighter. Usually when I sneak attack it is only because the dwarven fighter on our team is giving me flanking. I love the guy. He also soaks damage for me so I don't go down (plate armor, heavy shield, +2 con and second wind as a minor action for being a dwarf). I really love fighters.
