[QUOTE="Nac_Mac_Feegle, post: 2730688, member: 32300"] I would go human, if you want to be the ultimately skilled rogue As for stat assignment, Dex, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, dont get into figths, or use a bow. Dex is useful ofr so many rogue skills Intelligence gives you more skills maxed out Wisdom aids those skills that stop you gettign ambushed, and helps your will save Charisma to talk your way out of stuff, and to enhance your bluff Assuming an intelligence of 16, wiht a rogues starting skills og 8+intx4 and the extra 4 skill points at 1st, a 1st levle rogue could have 12 skills at max rank, and once you hit 2nd, get synergy bonus' You have 2 feats at 1st, one of which should be alertness to enhance your spot/listen etc, you should also take feat from the rogue/bard book that enhances your skills, usually 2 skills will get a +2 bonus By 4th/5th you will have a very impressive skill selection, and always right down all the skills you can have untrained, a rogue more than anyone relies on skills, so take note of them all. I wouldnt have 12 maxed skills though, I would have 8-10 maxed and 4-8 at half level, and the rest untrained, but as your dex gets better with levle, a lot of those untrained will still be quite good (untrained skills still get the synergy bonus fomr a trained skill of the right level Just make sure you save your cash for a pair of "Goggles of Night" later in your career, and buy "lens of detection", and "eyes of the eagle" (just take the "eyes of the eagle of when you start searching wiht your "Lens of detection") Feegle Out :cool: [/QUOTE]
