The reaction use is less of an issue if stopping at Rogue 3, since uncanny dodge isn't in play, but it's still something. If ranged, you'd rather have Skirmisher, since you're not wanting to be making the melee attacks that proc fancy footwork.In any case the other level 3 subclass feature favors Scout: extra expertise is better than a small (or possibly nonexistent) initiative boost.</blockquote>
