[QUOTE="Mr_GrinReaper, post: 2182772, member: 30420"] here is the way to go for a Halfling rogue, put your highest stat into dex, (ac and attack rolls)then next go for int, (skill points (and trap disarmament) then charisma, (for a bunch of skills) then strenght, or wisdom (equal, either do more damage, or be more aware of your surroundings) and least important is your constitution, (thats what fighters are for) but you may want to take the toughness feat, just in case. I'd recommend your 3rd level feat to be weapon finesse, and until then, focus on pretending you're weak for the first bit of battles, and then hitting hard on the monsters while they are focused on the fighters etc... For skills, try to get as many as you can, including Use Magic Device, all of the awareness skills and stealth skills (search spot listen, move silently hide) you could do well with ranks in disguise, in forgery, and don't forget disable device, thats a must. You need a few social skills, like diplomacy, and sense motive, and in particular bluff, and you need appraise, and a few athletic skills, for a sample look below Move Silently Spot Listen Disguise Disable Device Use Magic Device Bluff Appraise Tumble Balance Swim and thats only if you manage a 16 in int, if not the first to go would be swim, disguise, and Use Magic Device, although that one is useful, and then if you have to go less, (heaven forbid an int penalty) get rid of appraise and balance, but they are pretty important. and if you get higher then a 16, go for any of the other suggestions I originally put out.
