Looking for advice to append rogue build

I'll recommend going into Warlock for 4 levels, and pumping skillpoints into Use Magic Device. With good Charisma and UMD as a class skill, the ability to take 10 on UMD checks is great. Warlock also provides ranged touch attacks to deliver that sneak attack, or melee touch attacks for full attack SA with the Eldritch Glaive least invoction. Add in the nice 24 hour buffs (and the invisibility-at-will invocation, once you advance 6 levels into it), and you're set.

Another idea would be Chameleon with heavy Divine Focus use, should you allow retraining Combat Expertise into Able Learner (or just waiving the requirement). This has the advantage of great day-to-day flexibility.

In both cases, Practiced Spellcaster would be a good investment.
 

*Checks C.Adv.* Nope. I meant Shadowbane Stalker, that is the name. It's a rogue/cleric or rogue/paladin PrC. Requires Lawful Good, Gather Info 8 ranks, Search 4 ranks, Sense Motive 4 ranks, Detect Evil as class feature or a spell, and SA +1d6. The LG alignment and flavor of the class as zealots doesn't work for the PC, it seems, but the adaptation section says you could just as easily strip away that flavor to make it into something else or just a more generic rogue/cleric class.

The class gives d8 HD, 6 + int skill points with basically all the class skills you'd expect, good reflex and will saves, medium BAB, CL advancement at all but 4th and 9th level, and +1d6 SA every 3rd level. Also gets some small skill bonuses on some rogue skills and the ability to consume divine spells for stealth bonuses, AC bonus, and ultimately, bonus SA dice. None are probably worth losing the spells, but they're options if you want them.

So, if that is possible, I'd recommend doing cloistered cleric 1 and then going into shadowbane stalker. Pick up some Devotion feats, either swapping domains or by acquiring with feat. At the very least, Travel Devotion. Since she'll have 6 or more turn undeads per day but only cleric level 1 to use them with, she should try to find something useful to expend them on. I also rather like Divine Shield feat from C.Warrior. You can use a buckler without hindrance as an archer, so get a masterwork or magical buckler if she lacks one so she can put Divine Shield on it possibly.

This is the way to go. I personally find Chameleon to be the most fun PrC ever.
