[QUOTE="Rolzup, post: 1404041, member: 10105"] Looking for a bit of help here.... Just about to kick off a new game, and I've got a character all rolled up. I'm aiming to make this guy an *effective* knife fighter, so the origingal plan wais for him to go for Invisible Blade as soon as practical. Looking at things again, however, I'm noticing that the Dervish is also a really useful class for a character weilding two knives...but it lacks the sneak attack damage, and that seems to be what makes a knife fighter an effective option. It *does* let him make two attacks after moving, though, as well as having a nice variety of useful abilities for a lightly-armored fighter. Getting Spring Attack as a virtual feat seems quite attractive, for instance. So I'm hoping for some suggestions on how best to make a knife fighter who's going to be combat-effective. I'm thinking of alternating levels of Swashbuckler (from Complete Warrior) and Rogue until 6th level or so, but haven't made a solid decision yet. Character is Elven, level is 2nd, and stats are as follows: STR: 18 CON: 14 DEX: 21 INT: 18 WIS: 10 CHR: 14 (Yes, these are terribly high stats.
