[QUOTE="Votan, post: 2182578, member: 18680"] DaggerSpell Mage Alignment: Any non-evil Skills: COncentration 8 ranks Feats: Weapon Focus (Dagger), Two Weapon Fighting Special: Arcane Caster Level 5th Special: Snaeak Attack +1d6 To use practiced spellcaster you need 4 ranks in spellcraft. To do this as a rogue 4/wizard 1 you must be a human (3 feats). With 30 point buy, I'd do something like: Str 12 Dex 14 Con 14 Int 16 Wis 10 Cha 10 With 12 rankls of skills need (all cross class for a rogue) you will be buying some at double cost. You'll have to buy 6 of them as a wizard and the other 6 using 12 rogue skill points. Able Learner doesn't help unless you put off entry one more level so that you can fit that feat in (although this is highly recommended -- the DaggerSpell Mage Skill list is nice but not exceptional). You have 84 rogue skill points and 6 wizard. As a DSM you get 10 skill points per level. At level 15 (using the non-able learner version) you cast spells as an 10th level wizard (5th level spells) with a caster level of 14 (one lost due to the empty first level). You sneak attack for +5d6. Your BAB is (sadly) + 10. You have base saves of +4 +11 +10 which are not bad. You can quicken one spell every round of combat while making a full attack with your daggers (I recommend invisibility -- frustrates enemies and sets up the next sneak attack). You can use arcane infusion (swift action to lose a spelll. powers a dagger with a +1d6 energy attacks for a number of rounds equal to spell level -- this is where the level 1 spells go) for extra damage. Plus, the feat arcane strike lets you sacrifice a spell for a +1 per spell level to hit and +1d4 per spell level in damage on every attack in the next round. This synergizes very well with a two weapon sneak attack specialist. Finishing the build is best with either invisible blade (for more sneak attack madness and a better BAB) or Arcane Trickster (for which you easily meet the requirements now and nobody ever complained about improntu sneak attack).
