A great actor (read liar), who could convince anybody of anything. He was also maxed out in the Stealth area (Hide/MS)(95% both). Find/Remove traps was also maxed out. (95%)His Climb was excellent (I don't believe a character who loses magic items should be useles at what he's supposed to do best, in this case infiltration). (85%)His listen sucked (mostly aided by his racial bonus, so few to none ranks). (35%)He was a decent enough forger (not maxed out, since he once failed a very important one, almost caused a TPK).He had no Decipher script though. (5%)His pick pockets was pretty low as well. (30%) His open Locks was pretty decent (75%)In combat, Simon was not very couragous (low hps). He usually hid and would use a backstab in tactical situations (to bring down those lingering bad guys). His prefered mode of combat was knife-throwing. He also used 2 weapon proficiencies in learning martial arts (this is a must have for the character, since part of the whole schtick was never been weaponless).He was a masterful tumbler. A master of disguise. He had some knoledge of heraldry.I need help in deciding what feats, skills and ability increase to use. This is what I've come up so far:Abilities: Lev 4 +1 ConLev 8 +1 DexFeats (4)Improved unarmed strike (Vulcan neck pinch with SA dice <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />)Weapon Finesse (A must have for low str high Dex)Quick Draw (for the knife throwing)TWF (Knife throwing as well)Skills (143 points):Balance: 5 (4 Dex +2 Synergy give me +11)Bluff: 13Climb: 13 (+2 Climbing gear succeed on thos DC 25 with a take 10)Diplomacy: at least 5. (+2 Half elf +3cha +6 Synergies= +16)Disable device: 10 (plus Int and MW tools will give him that +15)Forgery: 7  (+int gives me a +10)Gather Info: 5 (Half elf + Cha gives me that +10)Hide: 13Jump: 5 (need those synergies baby, he also had th NWP in 2e)Knowledge Nobility: 5 (cost me 10, but gives me that +2 to diplo)Listen: NADAMove Silently: +13OPen Lock: 9 (plus dex and MW picks gives me +15)Search: 12 (plus Int gives me that +15)Sense motive: at least 5 (synergies baby)Spot: 5 (+1 Wis +2 aasimar=+10)Tumble:13 (+2 Synergy +4 Dex)Which adds up to 143He also has a Rogue Special ability. I'm caught up between:Skill mastery (6 skills, would allow me to restudy my Skill distribution)Imp Evasion (low hps)Defensive Roll (low hps)Remember, he really is an infiltartor, not a Combat machine.By the way, Simon has disapeared for over a year, since he became the vessel for an extraplanar creature. This version of simon is actually the good aspect, while the evil aspect has a tiefling-like template. The Fused extraplanar/Simon entity is now prefectly CN, while the CG and CE sides are off searching for the Uber-artifacts only they know were.Th GM is giving me 25,000 gp, but the party has an elven Chaimail +5 (wow) which I can talk them into allowing me to use. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />So what  Magic items to get?Also, what are the stat for the 3.5 version of eleven Chainmail. I'm thinking Mithral Chainshirt. (ACP 0, +4 Armor Max Dex +6, Weight 12,5 lbs). My GM says it actually is Mithral Chainmail (but I'm supposed to be the rules expert so I can probably get the correct ruling (i.e chainshirt <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ) if I state this forum's opinion.I'm thinking a +4 Dex Gloves (16,000), although the Monks belt would amp my unarmed strike from 1d4 to 1d8 for the same cost, although 2 more points of damage don't equate with a +2 to AC and +2 to hit.  Probably get the Handy Haversack as well.What do you guys think?</blockquote>
