My best guess is to go ahead and do the following mix:Rogue 3/Asn 1/Wizard 6taking one more level of wizard - then reverting to conventional rogue all the way to 20th levelyour fort save is ugly - so you probably have to take great fortitude as a feat about 6th level or soImproved initiative is likely to be your first level featAs far as the rest of your feats-craft wondrous item, craft arms and armor, and brew potion are possible "make your own magic item" needs - but beyond that - I don't see much.</blockquote>
