[QUOTE="themilkman, post: 4579389, member: 60908"] My advice would be not to worry about the weapon dice so much. I don't think you can find 18-20 crit anywhere else in the game (right now, at least) and the +1 attack bonus to dagger attacks is handy too. Also remember that with the wider crit range, you're going to be critting much more often, and a critical hit will maximize all of those extra sneak attack dice. If, however, you do want to increase the weapon dice, you have a few options. One, you could take a weapon proficiency feat and pick up a rapier. You'll have to find a different paragon path, and the best you can do is 19-20 crit with Light Blade Mastery in Epic. A third, trickier path, would be to take the Longsword Finesse feat (from Martial Power), which lets you use a longsword as a light blade for rogue purposes. Combined with Eladrin Soldier, this will net you some consistenty good rolls. Also, it will let you get the excellent Heavy Blade Opportunity feat in Paragon. However, you will lose one dice of sneak attack damage, and to increase your crit, you'll have to take the Heavy Blade Mastery feat, which requires some stats that you might want. There are many more options out there, but to sum up these three options: Dagger: Small weapon dice, but you will hit more consistenty and crit more often once you get the Daggermaster Paragon Path. Rapier: Better damage dice, no enhanced crit until Epic, must spend extra feats. Longsword Finesse: Better damage dice, damage bonuses, and Heavy Blade opportunity in paragon level. Hard to increase your crit in Epic. Just some thoughts off the top of my head. Others probably have better ideas. [/QUOTE]
