[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 608172, member: 2067"] Rogues mutli surprisingly well with the Monk (for mobililty), the Ranger (for battle power), or the Bard (for a few spells and Charisma!). Sorcerer isn't too bad either, and then you can start on the path to the Arcane Trickster, who's a pretty nice PrC. Only give up hiding and sneaking if you don't care about getting that first sneak attack. ;) If you combine this with a ranger's two weapons, or a Monk's flurry, etc. you can get several sneak attacks off right at the start of combat...sneak up next to 'em, then FULL ATTACK! With hide or move silent rolls in the 20-30 range, most creatures should be sitting ducks for this, and the Ranger actually increases your potential of surviving the retribution for this. ;) Otherwise, going with a bit of magic in the realm of the Bard or the Sorcerer isn't usually too bad an idea...why rely on the party wizard when you can invisible yourself. Combine it with haste, and some preparation, you can walk up to an enemy while invisible, full attack them, and turn invisible again (provoking an AoO, but you've got the Skill Points for Concentration). Bluff is good, also in combat, since it can set up a sneaky attack quite, qutie well, with the feint action. [/QUOTE]
