As a test, I had him fight a red dragon, which is listed as a level 14 monster (174 hp, AC 15, +7 to-hit). His only magic item was +1 mithril chain.He sneaks up. Easily beats the dragon's Wisdom check to notice him.He attacks with a sling, and between halfling luck and ace in the hole is guaranteed to hit. Sneak attack ends up at, I think, 1d6+3+2x(6d6+15). He does something like 74 damage.Roll initiative. The rogue uses his skill dice to add 1d10, and easily beats the dragon.He makes a normal sling attack, then runs to cover. Hits for another 40-ish damage. (114 dmg vs. 174 hp)The dragon flies after the halfling, claw/claw/bites. Only hits with the bite, doing 33 damage. (33 dmg vs. 76 hp)The halfling provokes an opportunity attack to run, and gets to add his skill die to his AC. The dragon misses. The halfling slings the dragon again and manages to get into a narrow space, where the dragon will have to squeeze if it wants to attack him. The sling does another 40-ish damage, and the dragon is nearly dead.The dragon breathes fire into the narrow space where the halfling is trying to hide, but hey, evasion. Halfling takes no damage.The halfling walks up with a short sword and stabs the dragon to death. That was pathetic.</blockquote>
